Michael "Boonie" Kleist is the latest player to be go after he was eliminated over the course of two hands by Gavin Griffin.

Boonie opened and called Griffins's three-bet to see a {2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop. He checked called a bet here and on the {10-Spades} turn before both players checked the {j-Hearts} river. Griffin opened the lowly {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} but managed to scoop.
