Daniel McNally Eliminated in 10th Place ($20,520)

Daniel McNally
Daniel McNally

Daniel McNally got all in preflop for 68,000 and was up against Roch Cousineau.

Showdown
McNally: {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Cousineau: {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop was interesting as it gave Cousineau a pair of sevens and the nut low, while McNally picked up a flush draw. Unfortunately for the latter, he would receive no help on the {6-Hearts} turn and {5-Hearts} river, putting an end to his run in tenth place.

With that, the final table is set.

McNally Left Very Short

Daniel Mcnally started the "unofficial" final table as the short stack and is now even shorter after rumbling in a small pot with Yuval Bronshtein. The hand started with Bronshtein opening to 42,000 from under the gun. Mcnally thought hard before making a decision out of the small blind, eventually sliding out the call and leaving himself with 53,000 behind.

On the {8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Mcnally checked and Yuval bet pot. Mcnally hesitated a few time before letting his hand go and sending the pot to Bronshtein.

Felicia Johnico Eliminated in 11th Place ($20,520)

Felicia Johnico - 11th Place
Felicia Johnico - 11th Place

Felicia Johnico has just been eliminated in 11th place, which brings us to our "unofficial" final table of 10. The last hand of Johnico's night saw her all in preflop with her extreme short stack, while Roch Cousineau and Viacheslav Zhukov continued playing the hand.

Cousineau and Zhokov both checked the {7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop and then Cousineau bet 76,000 on the {3-Diamonds} turn. This amount saw Zhokov fold and promtped Cousineau and Johnico to reveal their hands.

Cousineau: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Johnico: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Cousineau had the full house and with an {a-Hearts} on the river changing nothing, Johnico was eliminated.

Binh Nguyen Eliminated in 12th Place ($20,520)

Binh Nguyen - 12th Place
Binh Nguyen - 12th Place

The last hand before the break has seen Binh Nguyen Eliminated in 12th place. We didn't see when all the chips went in, but it was Nguyen up againt Viacheslav Zhukov and here is how their hands looked.

Showdown
Zhukov: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Nguyen: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{k-}{6-Clubs}

The {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} board was not friendly to Nguyen, with Zhokiv having the nut low and the straight to the nine to scoop up the pot. With that, Nguyen was eliminated in 12th place and the 11 remaining players were sent on a break.

Oh No, No . . . Johnico Drops 1.3 Million Pot to Cousineau

Roch Cousineau
Roch Cousineau

We didn't catch all the action, but we do know action exploded on a flop of {J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} between Felicia Johnico and Roch Cousineau. There was already 200,000 in the pot from preflop action, and Cousineau ended up being all in for 513,000 on the flop.

Showdown
Cousineau: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Johnico: {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Cousineau had flopped top two pair and the nut low, which was ahead of Johnico's top and bottom pairs with the second-nut low. The {J-Clubs} turn gave Cousineau a full house, but it'd be the {10-Hearts} on the river that would secure him the entire pot, worth a whooping 1.3 million; meanwhile, Johnico was devastated and left with just 30,000.
