Yuval Bronshtein ({K-Spades})({7-Spades}){9-Spades} {2-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs} ({2-Diamonds})
Abe Mosseri ({A-Spades})({Q-Spades}){5-Spades} {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} ({10-Spades})

Yuval Bronshtein completed on third street, Abe Mosseri raised and Bronshtein called all in. By the river, Mosseri made fives full of tens and with neither player making a low, Mosseri scooped the pot and sent Bronshtein home in 13th place.

Richard Anthony Eliminated in 14th Place ($28,272)

Richard Anthony - 14th Place
Richard Anthony - 14th Place
The bad news is that Richard Anthony was just eliminated from the event in 14th place. The good news is that he made another tier in the prizepool for a few more thousand bucks in his pocket.

Anthony couldn't beat Yan Chen's two pair, queens and deuces, and was eliminated from the tournament. He'll take home over $28,000 for his finish.

Crazy Roller Coaster for Berman; Rivera Back Up

Anthony Rivera scooped a big three-way pot with three queens. Lyle Berman and Doyle Brunson both whiffed on their low and flush draws. Berman was dropped all the way down to 9,000. The hand put Rivera up to 430,000.

A few hands later, Berman doubled up to 60,000 and then a few hands after that was all in once more. He made a full house this time around and is now up to 190,000, meaning he's gone from 9,000 to 190,000 in just a matter of minutes.

Dan Heimiller Eliminated in 15th Place ($24,650)

Dan Heimiller - 15th Place
Dan Heimiller - 15th Place
Almost immediately after Claudio Rinaldi left us, Dan Heimiller became our 15th place finisher. All in against Perry Friedman, Heimiller made aces up, but Friedman caught trip sixes on sixth street to bring Heimiller's tournament to an end.

Scotty Smashes Heimiller

Nguyen: (X-X) {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {6-Spades} (X)
Heimiller: (X-X) {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {A-Spades} {5-Hearts} (X)

Picking up the action on fifth street, Dan Heimiller bet and Scotty Nguyen called. On sixth street, Heimiller bet again and then Nguyen called. The same action went down on seventh street for the third time in a row.

Heimiller tabled {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {7-Spades} for two pair, aces and sevens. "That's no good, baby," announced Scotty before rolling over {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} to show a straight.

Scotty scooped in the pot to smash Heimiller down to 50,000 and move himself up to 240,000.

Perry Friedman (X)(X) {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} (X)
Dan Heimiller (X)(X) {2-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} (X)

We picked the hand up on fourth street, with the action checked over to Dan Heimiller. Heimiller bet and both Lisandro and Friedman called. It was the same story on fifth street and on sixth, Heimiller bet the rest of his chips, both opponents calling him down. Lisandro and Friedman both checked seventh street.

Heimiller turned up {J-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} for trip sixes. Both Friedman and Lisandro mucked and Heimiller scooped the pot, his stack now up to 190,000.
