Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen has been eliminated after his {A-}{4-} was not able to hold against his opponent's {2-}{k-}. Mortensen who held a large stack early, did most of the work to clear the way to three handed play. As we got later into the night Mortensen's stack whittled away.

Koon Gone

We don't know where the money got in, but what we do know is on a {8-}{4-}{7-}{A-}{Q-} board Koon was in for all of his chips and held {J-}{8-}, while his opponent had {K-}{Q-}. With the queen on the river Koon's tournament life was over.

Tim Ryan Busts in Third

Tim Ryan picked a bad spot for a large three-bet shove as he walked into aces.

Adam Kagin opened from the small blind and snapped when Ryan moved in from the big blind.

Ryan: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Kagin: {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

The board read {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Ryan takes a resounding chip lead into his heads-up battle with Ari Engel.
