Jon Christensen
Jon Christensen
Jon Christensen moved his last 5,000 chips in from the button and found himself facing Arkadiy Tsinis and Brian Green in the blinds.

When the board ran {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Tsinis bet the river and forced Green out. He then showed {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a flush, and Christensen mucked. He left the event in 19th place with $19,848.

Todd Lundwall Eliminated in 17th Place ($28,310)

Todd Lundwall
Todd Lundwall
Todd Lundwall open shoved from early position and David Jaoui called from the cutoff.

Lundwall: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Jaoui: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

A flop of {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{K-Hearts} gave Jaoui top pair and brought a flush draw for Lundwall, but he couldn't complete when the board finished {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. He left in 17th spot with $28,310.

John Spagnuolo Eliminated in 16th Place ($28,310)

John Spagnuolo raised to 56,000 from middle position and Jason Wheeler reraised to 176,000 from the button. Spagnulo pushed and Wheeler called.

Spagnuolo: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Wheeler: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

A flop of {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades} didn't change a thing, but Wheeler took the lead with the {Q-Spades} on the turn. The {9-Spades} on the river was a brick for Spagnuolo, who left in 16th place with $28,310.

Ratcliff: {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Tran: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

A flop of {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Clubs} was good for Tran, but the turn was not, bringing the {10-Clubs} and Broadway for Ratcliff. The river was a brick with the {3-Diamonds} and Tran left in 14th place with $40,350.

Ratcliff Doubles

Mike Ratcliff moved all in from the button and got called by Jason Wheeler in the big blind.

Ratcliff: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Wheeler: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

A board of {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} provided no help for Wheeler, who slipped to 1,450,000 while Ratcliff increased his stack to 750,000.
