Shak Shuts Out Libson in 25th

Brad Libson was down to less than 12,000 when he and Dan Shak traded enough bets to get Libson all in with {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} against Shak's {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. The board ran out {2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, and Libson was out in 25th, the last to cash for $4,912.

With 24 left, we're down to four tables. The next six players eliminated will each earn $5,970.

Jeffrey Jerome Heads Home

He stuck around for a while, but Jeffrey Jerome was unable to survive his last stand in this event. Jerome was all in preflop for his last 4,500 and Marco Johnson called.

Jerome: {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Johnson: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} flop pushed Jerome in front, but the {9-Clubs} on the turn all but ended it. Jerome was unable to complete a straight on the river, and he was sent to the cashier to collect his $5,970. It's an improvement for Jerome as he finished 39th in this same tournament last year, just shy of the money.

Turner, Pyne Eliminated

Jon Turner is our 23rd place finished in this event. We didn't catch his bustout hand, but he explained it on Twitter:

Ran KQss into AQ on KJT flop, saved some chips though, busted w T9o vs AA w only 2.5 bbs left... 23rd for v disappointing $5,970

At a nearby table, Richard Pyne was all in preflop with {A-Spades}{3-Clubs} against Sorel Mizzi's {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and was unable to come from behind. He finished in 22nd place for $5,970

Dan Shak Ousted by Roth

A frustrating day for Dan Shak has come to and end. Christopher Roth opened the action with a preflop raise and Dan Shak called in the big blind, leaving less than one bet behind.

The flop brought {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Roth bet. Shak called all in, and then revealed that he hadn't looked at his cards.

Roth: {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Shak: {3-Spades}{7-Spades}

The {4-Clubs} turn and {10-Diamonds} river provided no help for Shak, who landed in 21st place for $5,970

Clark Cut Down in 20th

A short-stacked Zach Clark raised from under the gun and it folded around to Steven Kelly in the big blind who called. The flop came {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Kelly bet, Clark raised with what he had left, and Kelly called.

Kelly: {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Clark {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and a flush for Clark, although Kelly still could catch a diamond to make a better one. But the river was the {J-Spades}, and Clark was out in 20th.
