Jeffrey Mervis Eliminated in 18th Place ($7,805)

Jeffrey Mervis was all in on the turn of a board reading {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against Eric Buchman. Mervis held top set with the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Buchman the {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush draw and a gutshot. The river was the {6-Spades} and completed the straight for Buchman. Mervis thought at first he won the pot and pumped his fists in excitement, but the dealer informed him that he lost and he then pounded his fist on the table in disgust after not having seen Buchman's straight. Buchman moved to 176,000 while Mervis was eliminated in 18th place.

Gioi Luong Eliminated in 19th Place ($6,237)

From under the gun, Gioi Luong was all in for his last 10,000 chips. Ken Dickenson was in the cutoff seat and meant to raise but only tossed out an amount of 12,000 without saying anything at first so it was ruled that he needed to take back 2,000 and just call. Jeffrey Mervis called on the button and then Brent Courson called as well from the small blind.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} and all the remaining players checked. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Courson fired a bet. Only Dickenson called.

The river was the {3-Clubs} and Courson bet. Dickenson folded and Courson first scooped the side pot. He then scooped the main pot with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} as Luong mucked, finishing in 19th place. Courson's back to 250,000 now.
