Table 298 Chip Counts

Alex Smith Eliminated in 18th Place ($23,220)

Alex Smith - Eliminated in 18th Place ($23,220)
Alex Smith - Eliminated in 18th Place ($23,220)

Just before players redrew seats to form the final two tables, a big hand occured that saw the end of Alex Smith's day.

Smith got all his chips in preflop holding the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} but was behind to Sebastian Winkler's {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. The board of {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} was of no help to Smith and he was eliminated in 18th place.

Players have just taken their new seats at the final two tables and we will have the table draw and updated chip counts for you shortly.

Gallegos' Rough Two Hands

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The next hand Gallegos moved all in from the cutoff and Simon Charette called from the big blind. Gallegos held {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} and Charette held {J-Hearts} {5-Spades}. The board ran {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {9-Spades} and Gallegos was eliminated.
