Bryan Pimlott - 16th Place
Bryan Pimlott - 16th Place

In a raised, heads up pot, Garth Arnason fired {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} on the flop. Bryan Pimlott pondered for a moment before moving in a call.

The turn brought the {7-Diamonds} and Arnason announced all in and Pimlott called off for a little under 40,000. Pimlott showed {A-Spades}{7-Spades} but was behind the {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} of Arnason.

The board was completed with an {8-Spades} on the river and Pimlott was sent to the cage to collect his 16th place winnings.

Lorenzo Sabato Eliminated in 18th Place ($9,431)

Lorenzo Sabato - 18th place
Lorenzo Sabato - 18th place

Lorenzo Sabato was first to act and moved all in for around 14,000. Grayson Ramage made the call from early position and Seth Davies made the call from the button.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Spades} and Ramage bet out 21,000. Davies made the call and both players saw the {2-Hearts} appear on fourth street. It was here that the two opponents each knuckled the felt for checks.

The {2-Diamonds} on the river brought another check from Ramage and a bet of 32,000 from Davies. Ramage made the call and was in for bad news.

Sabato: {Q-Clubs}{7-}
Ramage: {A-Spades}{6-Spades}
Davies: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Davies had the best of it with two pair tens and nines, a hand that easily trumped his two opponents. With that Sabato was eliminated in 18th place.

Buzgon Doubles; Sabato Crippled

Daniel Buzgon limped before the flop only to have Lorenzo Sabato push out a raise. Buzgon three-bet and Sabato replied by moving all in. Much to the disappointment of Sabato, Buzgon snap called and tabled two red aces. Sabato showed {J-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The flop brought some hope to Sabato, coming {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Spades} and giving him four to the flush. The {5-Clubs} turn did not complete his flush and the {5-Diamonds} river filled up Buzgon with fives full of aces.

After this pot Buzgon is down to only 20,000 in chips.
