Short Break

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The final nine players have taken a short break and action will be underway shortly.

Dan Smith Eliminated in 10th Place ($25,367)

Dan Smith - 10th place
Dan Smith - 10th place

Dan Smith started out a recent hand by making it 53,000 preflop from the button. After the small blind folded action was on Noah Vaillancourt who three-bet to 128,000. Smith then countered by moving all in, and Vaillancourt made the call after a few seconds.

Smith: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Vaillancourt: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

A {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop gave Smith a pair of sixes, but they were still second best to Vaillancourt's eights. A {4-Clubs} on the turn actually gave Vaillancourt a straight flush. There was no card that could come that would save Smith, but a {7-Diamonds} fell on the river none the less.

We are now at our official nine-handed final table, we will have official chip counts shortly.

Noah Vaillancourt opened for 48,000 and Jamie Armstrong made it 125,000 from the button. The blinds released and Vaillancourt called. The flop came {9-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {4-Spades} and both players checked. The turn came {9-Diamonds}, Vaillancourt checked and Armstrong bet 88,000. Vaillancourt made a sloppy call and the river came {J-Clubs}. Both players checked and Vaillancourt tabled {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} to take the pot.
