Two Races, Two Eliminations

It's hard to believe that players are already getting to the point where they're willing to take a race for their tournament life, but that's exactly what we're seeing. At one table, Darrell Dicken was all in with {10-Hearts}

and called by {A-Spades}

. The player with ace-queen emerged victorious by hitting running aces on the turn and river. Dicken is out.

At the other side of the room, Bryan Colin creseted the 100,000-chip mark by raising to 900 preflop, then moving all in when a short stack reraised to 3,000. The short stack called all in for about 12,000 with {A-Clubs}

. Colin had the tens, {10-Hearts}

. They held on an eight-high board.
