Jones Drops One
Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
We walked up to the table to see Aaron Jones and Tam Troung heads up on the turn, with the board showing 
. There was about 14,000 in the middle, and Jones fired out a bet of 6,900. Troung tanked for a couple of minutes before calling, and the 
hit the river. Jones checked after a few moments of though, and Truong quickly checked behind. Jones showed 
for a eights and sixes, and he was showed 
for a better two pair by Truong.
Despite losing that hand, it's been a good day for Jones so far. Jones had a good stack for most of the day yesterday, before getting knocked down to just 8,600 at the end of the night. However, he had it up to 30,000 before that hand, and is still doing okay with 23,000.

McNamee Finds an Ace to Eliminate Beckwith
Level 14
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Ryan Beckwith, a well-respected player from the Wisconsin poker scene, got his stack of 32,800 all in from the cutoff holding the 
and was up against Andrew McNamee, who held the 
in the big blind. Beckwith got it in good and was a favorite to double, especially when the 
flop failed to deliver McNamee any help.
Much to Beckwith's dismay, the dealer burned and turned the 
to give McNamee the lead with a pair of aces. Beckwith needed the case queen to stay alive, but it wasn't meant to be as the useless 
peeled off on the river.
"We got it in good," Beckwith said solemnly before making his way to the payout desk in 139th place.
Meanwhile, World Series of Poker Circuit regular Brett Schwertley has also been eliminated from the tournament.

Elpayaa Busts Op de Woerd & Eslami in Same Hand
Level 14
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Ali Eslami for roughly 13,000, leaving himself just 100 behind, only to have Frank Op de Woerd three-bet all in over the top for 33,000. Joe Elpayaa, who had both of them covered, then announced that he was all in himself. The rest of the field folded and Eslami called off his last 100.
Eslami: 
Op de Woerd: 
Elpayaa:
Eslami joked a bit about the bad spot he was in while Op de Woerd, who held two overs to Elpayaa's queens, rose from his chair. The 
flop kept Elpayaa in the lead, and the turn firmed up his position. However, while Eslami was drawing dead, Op de Woerd picked up the nut-flush draw. Unfortunately for the man from the Netherlands, the 
blanked on the river and his deep run came to an end.
Eslami became the 133rd-place finisher while Op de Woerd took 132nd.
