Thomas Keller Eliminated in 17th Place ($7,452)

Level 20
Thomas Keller
Thomas Keller

Stud 8

Thomas Keller: {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} / {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Spades} / {5-Diamonds}
Scotty Nguyen: {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} / {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} / {2-Spades}

Thomas Keller was all in on fifth street with jacks against Nguyen's pair and a low draw. The latter took the lead when he made aces up on sixth, Keller needed a jack but it didn't matter that he couldn't pick it up on seventh as Nguyen made a full house on seventh anyway.

The players are now redrawing for two tables.

Kevin Iacofano Eliminated in 18th Place ($7,452)

Stud 8

Kevin Iacofano: {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} / {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} / {J-Clubs}
Scotty Nguyen: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} / {4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades} / {3-Diamonds}

With his stack dwindling, Kevin Iacofano made his stand on fifth street holding a pair of sevens. Scotty Nguyen looked over and said "I got nothin' baby" but when the dealer tossed him a king on sixth street, his pair out him in the lead. Iacofano squeezed his last down card and then stood up and said "good game everyone." He had failed to make a second pair and was eliminated in 18th place, taking home $7,452 for his run.

Barry Greenstein Eliminated in 19th Place ($7,452)

Barry Greenstein eliminated and signs his book.
Barry Greenstein eliminated and signs his book.

Omaha 8

It looked as though four bets had been put in by Barry Greenstein, Kyle Loman and Matthew Ashton preflop before the flop came out {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Greenstein checked, Loman bet, Ashton folded and Greenstein check-raised all in.

Greenstein: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Loman: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The {10-Spades} gave both gutshot straight draws but the {3-Spades} river helped neither, Loman's two pair was the better and Greenstein signed his book for his opponent before heading to the rail.

Richard Ashby Eliminated in 20th Place ($7,452)

Level 19

Stud 8

Kyle Loman: {2-}{4-} / {3-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} / {3-}
Richard Ashby: {x-}{x-} / {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs} / {x-}

Richard Ashby was calling and check-calling all the way down the streets and was crippled when Loman flipped {2-}{4-}{3-} for the wheel to scoop the pot.

The rest of Ashby's chips went in with {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} against Benjamin Lukas' {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}. Ashby ended up making eights and sixes with no low but Lukas backdoored into trip threes to eliminate the Englishman.

Brent Carter Scoops For the Double

Omaha 8

Brent Carter got it all-in before the flop against Antony Lellouche holding the {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Lellouche revealed the {5-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{A-Spades} and the two players waited for the deck to decide their fates.

The final board rolled out {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Carter's pair of nines and an A-2-3-4-7 low were good enough to claim the entire pot.
