Shaun Harris Eliminated in 24th Place

We arrived to the action after a flop reading {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs} had been delivered. Kent Washington bet 11,500 and Shaun Harris called. David Fischer, in the big blind, folded.

The turn brought the {4-Spades} and Washington went all in. Harris wasted no time calling.

Washington: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Harris: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Washington filled up on the river when the {q-Hearts} came down, eliminating Harris and pushing Washington's stack into the stratosphere.

Perez Double Through Phillis

Christopher Perez just doubled through Brandon Phillis on Table 364.

Perez open shoved for 18,500 chips from under the gun and Phillis re-shoved to 52,000 from middle position. The action folded to Hoai Pham who pondered making a move before finally folding. The cards were turned up, and it was a race:

Perez: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Phillis: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The flop ran {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Perez took the lead. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn was a blank, and so too was the {4-Hearts} on the river.

Perez doubled to 40,000 chips and Phillis fell to 34,000 chips.

Vea Eliminates Rincon

Javier Rincon got his remaining chips in preflop against Arthur Vea over at Table 372. It was a classic race situation when they turned over their cards:

Rincon: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Vea: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} gave Rincon a ton of outs, but the {4-Diamonds} and {10-Diamonds} provided no help on the turn and river. Vea eliminated Rincon on the hand and increased his massive chip stack.

Sam Sperrazza Eliminated in 28th Place

Sam Sperrazza got all of his chips in preflop with {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} against Edward Martin's {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

The {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop kept Sperrazza far ahead but the {Q-Clubs} on the turn gave him a straight draw.

The table gasped in disbelief when the {8-Spades} hit the river, giving Martin the huge pot. With Sperrazza's elimination, the remaining players redrew seats and combined to the final three tables.
