Brownscombe Makes Matros Pay

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Matt Matros, who is the defending champion in this event, is down to 122,000 in chips after surrendering a pot to Tom Brownscombe.

The action folded around to Matros who raised from the cutoff; he found two callers in the form of Timothy Chauser from the button and Brownscombe from the big blind, so it was three-way action into a flop of {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Brownscombe and Matros checked to Chauser who opened the betting; Brownscombe was the only caller and he then led out on both the turn of the {2-Hearts} and the river {A-Diamonds}.

Matros called him all the way, tabling {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} but Brownscombe revealed {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for the bigger pair. Brownscombe is now up to 180,000 in chips.

Clayton Newman Eliminated in 20th Place ($6,096)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Clayton Newman raised from early position and was three-bet all in by Matthew Elsby. The cards were turned over and we were five cards away from another player's fate.

Newman: {A-}{J-}
Elsby: {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}

The flop was safe for Newman, falling {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, and the turn was no problem either when the {4-Spades} came. However, the dreaded deuce fell in the form of the {2-Hearts}, knocking Newman out of the tournament.

All Newman could say when he looked at the board was "Standard.". Newman will receive $6,096 in prize money.

Also- Jeremy Heartberg was eliminated in 21st place. He got his stack in with {A-}{Q-} against his opponent's {3-}{3-} and failed to improve.

Darin Thomas Eliminated in 22nd Place ($6,096)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

We caught up with the action as Darin Thomas was standing up to walk away toward the rail. The aftermath of his final hand was strewn across table #373. Thomas, from the small blind, held {5-Spades}{2-Spades} and was up against the {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} of William Davis. The board in its entirety read {2-}{2-}{10-}{Q-}{10-} and Thomas' full house was the second best. He will receive $6,096 for his run in this event.

Also the PokerNews team was not able to catch it, but Daniel Idema was also sent to the rail in 23rd place, receiving the same prize amount.

Chauser Chips Up Thomas

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Timothy Chauser has slipped to 130,000 after clashing with Darin Thomas on table 373.

The action folded around to Chauser who raised from the cutoff; Thomas was the only caller from the big blind, so it was heads-up to a flop of {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Thomas checked and Chauser led out, but Thomas came back with a check-raise. Chauser called, only to fold after Thomas opened when the dealer produced the {4-Diamonds} on the turn.

Thomas is now up to 163,000 in chips.
