Michael Glick Eliminated in 10th Place ($173,796)

Level 20
Michael Glick - 10th Place
Michael Glick - 10th Place

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action folded to Michael Glick on the button and he put in a raise. The small blind folded and Minh Ly opted to defend from the big, which brought about a flop of {6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Ly checked, Glick bet and Ly woke up with a check-raise. Not to be outdone, Glick three-bet all in and Ly called.

Glick: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Ly: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

It was a decent flop for Ly as he had top pair and a better low draw than Glick. The {9-Hearts} turn didn't change much, and neither did the {2-Clubs} river. Ly's pair of eights held for the high and his ace-four took the low.

With that, Glick was eliminated in ninth place and the final nine players combined to the unofficial final table.

Benyamine Climbing Back

Level 20

Stud

David Benyamine: {x-}{x-} / {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} / {x-}
Mike Gorodinsky: {x-}{x-} / {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} / {x-}

Benyamine completed, Gorodinsky raised, and Benyamine called. Benyamine check-called a bet on fourth street, then called two more bets on fifth and sixth when Gorodinsky made a better board. Both players checked on seventh.

Benyamine showed {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a pair of kings, winning the pot.

Huck Seed Eliminated in 11th Place ($147,882)

Level 20
Huck Seed - 11th Place
Huck Seed - 11th Place

No-Limit Hold'em

A short-stacked Huck Seed moved all in for 223,000 from middle position and received a call from Matthew Ashton in the cutoff. The rest of the field folded and the cards were turned up.

Seed: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Ashton: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

It was a bad spot for Seed, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, he only had a 22.83% chance of surviving the hand with a 4.5% chance of a tie. That meant Ashton would win 72.67% of the time, and that actually increased to 88.18% on the {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop.

Seed still had a 9.69% chance of catching a jack, but the {8-Clubs} turn saw that drop to 6.82%. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {3-Spades}. Seed missed and became the 2013 WSOP $50,000 Poker Players' Championship 11th-place finisher.
