A short-stacked Greg DeBora got the rest of his chips in before the flop and Jameson Painter made the call.
DeBora 

Painter 

DeBora's pocket nines held up on the ten-high board and he doubled to 55,000.
Simon Morris raised before the flop, and Matt Keikoan put in a third bet. Heads up, the two players took a flop of
, and they both checked.
That brought them to the
turn, and Keikoan flat-called a Morris bet. That action repeated on the
river, and Morris turned up
for top pair. It was no good, though; Keikoan flipped up
for the big overpair, good enough to earn the pot and move his way up to 190,000.
Morris is back to 170,000.
With the elimination of Michael Reed, we are now squarely on the money bubble. The tournament is being dealt hand-for-hand until we find one more knockout, our unlucky bubble boy who will go home with nothing but the proverbial wooden spoon.
Michael Reed raised under the gun, and Daniel Idema went ahead and reraised enough to put him all in from the small blind. Reed turned over
for his tournament life, and he was flipping for double or nothing against Idema's
.
The board ran out sour for Reed as it came
. Unable to improve his overcards, Michael Reed has run out of chips, and he has been eliminated in 20th place, two spots shy of a payday.
