Karl Pirkopf Eliminated in 13th Place ($23,553)

Karl Pirkopf only had 62,000 chips left and he put them all into the middle on what would ultimately be his last hand of the tournament. He was called by Donald Offord, and the player in the big blind tanked before eventually folding.

Pirkopf: {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Offord: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The flop didn't do much to change things when it came {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The {8-Clubs} on the turn gave Pirkopf a flush-draw, but it wouldn't do him any good to hit it. The {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Pirkopf became the 10th player to bust in two hours,

Benjamin Kleyman Eliminated in 14th Place ($23,553)

Benjamin Kleyman put all of his remaining 224,000 chips when he was first to act on what would be his last hand. Hugh Bell called from the button, and Kleyman stood up to see if he'd be heading home.

Kleyman: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Bell: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Bell hit a king on a flop that came {3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and stayed ahead filled up with the {3-Diamonds} on the turn. The river brought the {5-Clubs} and Kleyman took his exit.
