Getty Mattingsly Eliminated in 26th Place ($10,636)

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After Tyson Marks opened with a raise under the gun, Bill Chen three bet to 50,000 in middle position. Action folded to Getty Mattingsly in the small blind who pushed in the rest of his 80,000 chips. Marks folded and Chen called.

Chen: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Mattingsly: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Mattingsly will have to wait for the next one.

McFarland Doubles Up Dato

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The action opened when Bradley McFarland raised to 18,000 preflop. From the very next seat, Andrea Dato made it 52,000 total. The action folded back around to McFarland who, after some time, announced that he was all in. Dato made a rather quick call, tabling {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Fortunately for Dato, he was crushing McFarland's {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board fell {5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and Dato's ace-ten high was able to scoop the pot. McFarland's move knocked him down to 230,000, while boosting Dato's stack to around 430,000.

Bryan Pimlott Eliminated in 22nd Place ($10,636)

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Bradley McFarland raised to 18,000 preflop and the action folded around to Bryan Pimlott. After some pondering, Pimlott three-bet his stack all in and McFarland made the call.

Pimlott: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
McFarland: {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The flop fell {9-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} giving Pimlott trip aces, but McFarland a flush draw. The {J-Clubs} fell on the turn keeping Pimlott in the lead. Unfortunately for Pimlott, McFarland caught up when the {10-Spades} drilled the river, giving him Broadway.

This is Pimlott's second deep cash in this brief WSOP, after coming in 13th in Event #6, the $1,500 Limit Hold'em tournament earlier this week. Although he seems to be running hot, Pimlott, a 41 year old orthopedic trauma surgeon, will not be playing any more events until the Main Event. He will receive $10,636 for his efforts in this tournament.
