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.

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.

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.

Edward Martin Eliminated in 23rd Place

Yuta Motoyama raised to 10,000 and was called by Jonathan Kotula and Edward Martin, who was in the big blind.

Martin checked the {3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Spades} flop and Motoyama bet 15,000. After Kotula folded, Martin shoved all-in for 16,800 more.

Motoyama didn't look happy and even stated, "You have me beat, but I'm getting the right price." He made the call and turned over the {K-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Martin showed the {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, but it was the {A-Diamonds} on the river that gave Motoyama the winning hand. Martin was eliminated in 23rd place.

Derek Dillman Eliminated in 22nd Place

After taking a big hit earlier, Derek Dillman has been knocked out.

Dillman got the remainder of his stack all-in with David Patent pre-flop and the hands looked like this:

Dillman: {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Patent: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

Dillman mad a pair of kings on the {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, but Patent's set of jacks took a commanding lead. With the {Q-Hearts} on the turn and the {A-Spades} on the river, Dillman's hand did not improve sending him to the rail in 22nd place.

Patent now sits with a monster stack worth over 200,000 chips.
