Danielle Barille Eliminated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

She sent Ty Stewart to the rail and now she is heading to the same direction, albeit $977 richer. Danielle Barille got the remainder of her stack in with {A-}{5-} and was looked up by pocket queens. There was no help on a dry board and we are down to less than 75 players. An updated list of all participants in the money will be available in the next break.

Curran Busts in 77th Place

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jason Curran shoved all in from middle position for 14,600 and right behind him, Brett Halladay also announced that he was all in; Everyone else got out of the way and they were heads up. Curran was the player at risk and his {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} needed to improve against the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} of Halladay.

The flop of {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} provided a sweat, but the board ran out {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Halladay took the pot and Curran busted.

Halladay did mention that he's related to retired Major Leaguer Roy Halladay. "Some sort of super-distant blood cousin," he said.

Nice Hand Nguyen

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Kristi Nguyen raised a limper from the small blind and got a call. The two players saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. Nguyen checked as did her opponent.

The turn card was the {6-Diamonds} and Nguyen began counting out a bet in several stages. There is no betting line on the felt and one player accused her of making a string bet, a charge she vigorously denied. The dealer asked if he wanted to call the floor but that wasn’t necessary and Nguyen bet 4,500. Her opponent made the call.

The river was the {6-Diamonds}. Nguyen again started counting out some chips before deciding a declaration of all in was her preferred option. This seemed to confuse her opponent, who got a count of 10,900, and took several minutes to think about his options as Nguyen sat back relaxed in her chair.

Eventually he folded and the pot was pushed to Nguyen who took the “Nice hand” congratulations from her neighbour.

"Panda Burr" Is Eliminated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jessica Lamm
Jessica Lamm

Jessica "Panda Burr" Lamm was all in for her last 14,300 and got called by Mo Nuwwarah. It was a flip for the tournament life with the {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} for Lamm and the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for the PokerNews blogger. The {4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop was still good for Lamm, but the {Q-Clubs} turn saw her drawing to only two outs.

It wasn't meant to be as the {3-Hearts} completed the board and "Panda Burr" headed to her rail before exiting to the pay desk.
