After being left with only three big blinds, it's not surprising that Tim Duckworth is now watching from the sidelines.
Mike Watson opened to 6,500 in the hijack, the button three-bet to 14,000 and Duckworth put the last of his chips in from the big blind. Watson called and the three players saw the 
flop come into view. Watson check-folded to a 16,500 bet.
"I have a pair," said Duckworth as he showed the 
. Unfortunately, his opponent held a higher pair in 
. Duckworth received no help from the 
turn or the 
river and was eliminated.

Tim Duckworth is down to 12,000 or four big blinds and is in need of a double up.
Duckworth opened to 6,500 from under the gun and found two callers, one on the button and the other in the big blind. The trio saw the dealer fan out the 
flop, a flop that all three players checked.
The turn brought the 
into play and it was checked to the button who bet 9,000. Only Duckworth called. Duckworth then checked the river then tanked when his opponent made it 22,000 to play. Duckworth found a call, but couldn't beat te 
being shown to him and he mucked his hand.

When Christopher Danek got his chips in with 
against 
he must have been rubbing his hands together in anticipation of adding to his stack, especially when another player claimed to have folded 
.
However, chips were not added to Danek's stack as the five community cards read 
to see 75,000 of Danek's chips shipped to the other side of the table.
Heath Mendelsohn was the man on the right side of the one outer and is now up to 165,000 chips.
