Tim Phan - 8th Place

Tim Phan wasn't as lucky as Greg Mueller and Ivan Schertzer. He was all in on third street with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

/

{2-Diamonds}

against Freddie Ellis and Ivan Schertzer. Schertzer, it turned out, was rolled up {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

/

{10-Hearts}

, and was all in himself by fifth street. Ellis went for the double kill with {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

/

{2-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

, but he never improved on his nines. Nor did Phan ever improve to anything better than a pair of deuces.

As a result, Schertzer dragged the whole pot to chip back up to about 280,000. In the process he eliminated Phan, whose reward is $47,532.
