Schulman: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Khun: {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The flop brought both players a pair when it fell {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. But the turn {4-Spades} and river {J-Diamonds} were both safe cards for Schulman who was able to score the elimination.

Jamie Rosen

Just before the break Jamie Rosen and Andrew Dean found themselves in a raising war. Rosen opened the pot to 26,000. In the next seat over Andrew Dean reraised to 62,000. Action folded back to Rosen who put in a fourth bet to 141,000.

Dean thought about it for a bit before finally moving all in for more than 600,000. Rosen called quickly.

Rosen: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Dean: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The flop was safe for Rosen when it came down {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Rosen had the air taken out of him though when the turn fell the {Q-Diamonds}. Rosen needed a jack and only a jack on the river. The card was paint, but it was the {K-Hearts} and not enough for Rosen to catch up.

After the hand the chips were counted and Dean had just a bit more than Rosen, earning him the elimination.

Action folded back around to Dean who thought about it briefly before raising it up to 176,000. Pollak asked that the original bet be pulled into the pot so he could see what he was faced with. Eventually he settled on another raise, this time to 307,000.

Dan Kelly - 10th Place

Action folded to Matt Berkey who moved all in from the small blind and Dan Kelly quickly called out of the big blind.

Berkey: {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Kelly: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}

Kelly was dominating Berkey but quickly fell behind after the flop came {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Kelly was suddenly in need of improvements to stay alive in the tournament. The {2-Clubs} struck the turn and Kelly needed a nine for the win or a four to chop. Unfortunately for Kelly, the {6-Hearts} hit the river and he was eliminated in 10th place. Despite coming up short of a final table, Kelly scored his 6th WSOP cash this year thanks to his deep run in this event.

On the button Erik Seidel moved all in for 138,000 chips, action folded to Andrew Dean in the big blind who called.

Seidel: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Dean: {K-}{10-}

The {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop was disaster for Seidel when Dean spiked his three outer putting Seidel in a deep hole.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, not improving Seidel and the river was the {7-Hearts} which sent Seidel to the rail just short of the final table.
