Humberto Brenes Eliminated

Humberto Brenes put all of his chips in the middle preflop and got one caller. Brenes showed {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} while his opponent showed {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

The race didn't last long as the flop came {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. A meaningless {4-Diamonds} and {7-Spades} sent Brenes to the rail.

J.J. Liu Eliminated

We caught this hand just as J.J. Liu was standing up at the table.

She got all of her chips in the middle with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} on a flop of {5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Her opponent called with {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and turned the flush with the {4-Hearts}. A meaningless {2-Diamonds} on the river ended Liu's day.

Rafe Furst was also eliminated from the tournament.

Minneapolis Jim Eliminates a Player

The hijack raised to the 3,000 preflop on Minneapolis Jim Meecham's small blind, and Meecham took about 15 seconds before making the call.

On the flop of {2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Meecham bet 10,000 and got the call. Meecham turned up aces and his opponent showed queens. A {3-?} and {5-?} on the turn and river gave Meecham the wheel and he's now sitting on 26,175 chips.
