Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Spinks had 228,000 and Ryan Young had 227,000. That was the count down by the dealer when Spinks' {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} couldn't catch up to the {a-Spades}{k-Spades} of Young.

With just the ante left, he had {7-Clubs}{3-Spades} against the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} of Ben Volpe. He flopped made pair with the {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and actually started roooting against himself. He got his wish though with the {10-Clubs} turn that left him drawing dead. He exits the tournament and we are down to four tables with just 15 minutes left to play tonight.
