Mike Santoro Eliminated in 9th Place ($21,304)

Mike Santoro - 9th place
Mike Santoro - 9th place

Limit

Mike Santoro raised from the cutoff, and it folded to Michael Michnik who made it three bets from the big blind. Santoro called with his last chips, and the cards were tabled.

Michnik {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Santoro {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, and Santoro was still ahead but only precariously so. The {8-Spades} on the turn then paired Michnik, and the {5-Spades} river meant we had our first elimination.

Michnik now has about 530,000.

Pilgrim Gets One from Smith on the River

No-Limit

It was folded around to Dwyte Pilgrim who opened to 20,000. Gavin Smith called from the cutoff and the button and the blinds released.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Pilgrim check-called Smith's bet of 42,000.

The {q-Diamonds} fell on the turn and both players checked.

When the {6-Hearts} fell on the river, Pilgrim bet 18,000. Smith promptly folded, and Pilgrim raked in the pot.

Gavin Calls, Collects

No-Limit

The table folded around to Gavin Smith who completed from the small blind, then Jarred Solomon raised to 20,000 from the big blind. Smith called, and the flop came {5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Smith checked, Solomon bet 31,000, and Smith quickly called. Both then checked the {3-Clubs} turn.

The river brought the {4-Clubs}. Smith checked, and Solomon fired 44,000. Smith didn't wait long to call, tabling {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a club flush. Solomon folded, his hand -- {A-Spades}{10-} -- briefly visible as he did.

Smith increases his chip lead on that one, moving close to 800,000 while Solomon slips to about 550,000.
