Lawrence Greenberg Eliminated in 10th Place ($384,122)

Level 26 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Lawrence Greenberg - 10th Place
Lawrence Greenberg - 10th Place

Action folded around to Martin Jacobson in the small blind and he haphazardly tossed in a raise to 510,000. Lawrence Greenberg responded with an all-in three-bet to about 3.5 million from the big blind and Jacobson snap-called.

Jacobson: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Greenberg: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Greenberg was behind but drawing to live cards. The {2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} flop wasn't anything special, but the {K-Diamonds} turn made things interesting as Greenberg picked up a flush draw. Greenberg, a 50-year-old Hedge Fund Manager, was out of his seat to watch the dealer burn and put out the {q-Spades}. Greenberg missed and was sent to the rail in tenth place, which brings about the final table.

*Check out what Greenberg had to say about playing this event in an earlier interview he did with PokerNews.

Level 26 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Connor Drinan - 11th Place
Connor Drinan - 11th Place

Connor Drinan moved all in for 1.45 million on the button, and Chris Klodnicki looked him up in the big blind.

Drinan: {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Klodnicki: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Klodnicki extended his lead when the flop fell {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, and it was all over for Drinan when the {2-Hearts} turned. A meaningless {3-Diamonds} completed the board, and Drinan was off to the cage to collect $308,622 for his efforts.

Klodnicki now has over nine million chips.

Jeremy Ausmus Eliminated in 12th Place ($308,622)

Level 26 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Jeremy Ausmus
Jeremy Ausmus

Action folded to Jeremy Ausmus in the small blind and he moved all in for roughly 2.8 million. Antonio Esfandiari squeezed out his cards from the big and then made the call.

Esfandiari: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Ausmus: {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

It was a classic flip, but according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Esfandiari had a slight 51.38% chance of winning the hand. That mean Ausmus' chances stood at 47.73% with a 0.88% chance of a tie. The {3-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop dropped Ausmus' chances to 31.52% while the {K-Spades} turn dropped it even further to 22.73%.

Ausmus needed either a queen, jack or seven to stay alive, but he'd come up empty as the {4-Spades} peeled off on the river. Ausmus was gracious in defeat and even slide his stack over to Esfandiari before shaking hands with the table and taking his leave.

Schulman Up, Schulman Down

Level 26 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Nick Schulman open-shoved for 2.73 million from under the gun. The action folded to Olivier Busquet in the big blind, and he smiled, tanked for a bit, then folded.

The next hand, Chris Klodnicki raised to 400,000 on the button, and Schulman defended his big blind. Schulman then check-folded to a bet of 400,000 on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

Esfandiari Takes a Big Pot Off Jacobson

Level 26 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Antonio Esfandiari opened for 410,000 from the cutoff and Martin Jacboson called from the button. Brandon Steven came along from the big blind and three players saw a flop of {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Steven checked, Esfandiari bet 580,000 and Jacobson called. After Steven got out of the way, the {2-Spades} turned and Esfandiari checked.

Jacobson took the opportunity to bet 900,000, Esfandiari called and the {J-Hearts} peeled off on the river. It went check-check and Esfandiari showed the {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} to win the pot.
