Michael Senter Eliminated in 15th Place ($7,495)

Michael Senter - 15th place
Michael Senter - 15th place

Michael Senter raised from the cutoff, Jacob Petersen three-bet from the button, and Hans Minocha cold called from the small blind. Senter then four-bet, and Petersen five-bet. Minocha and Senter followed (with 2K behind).

Flop: {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

After Minocha checked, Senter bet all-in, and Petersen raised. Minocha then re-raised, and Petersen called to see the {5-Hearts} hit the turn. Michocha took the lead this time and Petersen called. The river brought the {2-Diamonds} and Petersen called another bet from Minocha.

Minocha showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for two pair, which had Senter's {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} beat. Petersen mucked, and Minocha scooped a huge pot.

Yosuke Sekiya Eliminated in 13th Place ($7,495)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Yosuke Sekiya - 13th place
Yosuke Sekiya - 13th place

On the first hand of Level 18, Chad Brown opened with a raise from the button (now to 10,000), and Yosuke Sekiya reraised from the small blind with the 14,000 he had left. Ronnie Bardah called the reraise, as did Brown, and the trio watched the flop come {9-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Bardah fired into the side pot, and Brown let his hand go.

Bardah tabled {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for kings while Sekiya needed help with his {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. The turn as the {3-Spades} and river the {Q-Clubs}, and Sekiya is out in 13th.

There will be a brief pause as the remaining dozen players redraw for seats around the final two tables.

Gironda Rockets Upwards

Vincent Gironda just claimed a huge pot to surge up over the half-million chip mark and increase his lead. The hand began with three players — Ronnie Bardah, Terrence Chan, and Gironda — all contributing four bets before the flop, with original raiser Maria Ho stepping aside.

Heavy betting through the {6-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop and {7-Spades} turn left just Bardah and Gironda battling. Then when the {A-Clubs} fell on the river and Gironda led with a bet, Bardah looked to the ceiling in exasperation before making a crying call. Gironda tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, and Bardah winced as he mucked, that river clearly appearing to have snatched the large pot away from him.

Nearing the Finish Line

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Play has slowed to a crawl here in the final level of the night. Play will go on for 15 more minutes and then players will bag their chips for the night.

Maria Ho - 11th Place

Just moments after making a tough river call to double through Terrence Chan, Maria Ho went to battle with Chan again. This time, she was taken down by the Limit Hold'em master.

We missed the action, but Ho's {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} was run down by Chan's {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. She'll collect $9,362 for her two days of work.
