Jesse Rios Eliminated in 18th Place ($9,907)

Jesse Rios - 18th Place
Jesse Rios - 18th Place
On a flop of {J-Spades} {8-Spades} {2-Diamonds}, Jesse Rios bet 15,000 from the small blind, Jeff Kimber raised to 55,000 and Rios called. The turn was the {A-Diamonds} and Rios moved in for 115,000. Kimber made the call.

Rios {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}
Kimber {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {3-Spades}

Kimber's set of jacks were good and Rios made his exit as the {6-Spades} hit the river.

With that pot, Kimber has taken the chip lead with 420,000.

Kevin Murphy Eliminated in 17th Place ($9,907)

Kevin Murphy limped from under-the-gun and then called Leif Force's 27,000 chip raise before seeing a flop of {2-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

When Murphy moved all in, Force made the call showing over pairs of {9-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs} to Murphy's wrap with {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

When the board finished with the {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Force had filled up and Murphy was sent packing in 17th place.

Jorgensen Loses Half His Stack

Len Ashby limped from the cutoff and then called Theo Jorgensen's 26,000 chip raise from the button before the players saw a flop of {J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Both players checked and Ashby then check-called for 40,000 when Jorgensen bet the {10-Clubs} on the turn. Ashby took the lead on the river, betting 85,000 at the {J-Clubs}, and Jorgensen tanked for more than a minute before making the call.

When Ashby showed {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the full house, Jorgensen mucked, leaving himself with 170,000. Ashby now has 350,000.

Steve Sung Eliminated in 16th Place ($9,907)

When Steve Sung made it 20,000 to go from the cutoff, Jean-Philippe Leandri made a pot-sized raise from the small blind. Sung called and was all in.

Sung: {9-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Leandri: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Sung flopped a flush draw when the board came {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, but bricked out on the end with the {4-Diamonds} and {8-Diamonds}. He went home in 16th spot with $9,907.

Play Has Slowed

With just six players needed to bust before we reach our final table, play has slowed considerably over the past level.

With blinds at 4,000/8,000, there are some short stacks at the tables, but they are playing very tight in hopes of coming back tomorrow.

David Chiu Eliminated in 15th Place ($13,026)

David Chiu - 15th Place
David Chiu - 15th Place
J.C. Tran opened for 22,000 from early position, David Chiu moved all in for 46,000 total and Tran made the call.

Chiu {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Tran {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades}

Chiu's aces were safe on the {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {4-Spades} flop and still holding on the turn when the {8-Diamonds} fell, but Tran rivered the {5-Clubs} to make a six-high straight and send Chiu to the rail in 15th place.
