Daniel Hirleman Eliminated in 21st Place ($8,559)

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Daniel Hirleman
Daniel Hirleman

Daniel Hirleman came in as the chip leader but had a rough go of it and found himself short and all in against Calen McNeil. The hands were turned over:

Hirleman {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}
McNeil {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}

The board would run out {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} and McNeil's pair of nines and low would be enough to knock Hirleman out in 21st place.

Mike Hack - 22nd Place
Mike Hack - 22nd Place

Calen McNeil just check-called the turn and bet the river as the community cards came {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. Mike Hack called, leaving himself just 11,000, but McNeil showed a backdoor flush with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and won the pot.

Hack was eliminated two hands later.

Guillaume Rivet Eliminated in 23rd Place ($8,559)

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Guillaume Rivet
Guillaume Rivet

Greg Raymer raised from early position and Guillaume Rivet called from the big blind. The flop came {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Rivet would get his last 13,000 in the middle and was at risk.

Rivet: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades} — top pair
Raymer: {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} — a low draw with a pair of threes

The turn was the {5-Clubs} giving Raymer a low but Rivet still held the high hand. That would change when the dealer put out the {2-Diamonds} on the river giving Raymer a wheel to eliminate Rivet in 23rd place.

Anil Gurnaney Eliminated in 24th Place ($8,559)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Anil Gurnaney
Anil Gurnaney

Anil Gurnaney raised and was called by Calen McNeill. Gurnaney would get the last of his chips in on the {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop and would be facing an uphill climb with his {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} as McNeill had flopped top set with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and only a ten on the river would save Gurnaney from elimination. The river was the {2-Hearts} and that was enough to send Gurnaney off to collect his 24th-place winnings.

Day 3 of Event #14 Set to Resume

Calen McNeil - will he defend his title?
Calen McNeil - will he defend his title?

Action in Event #14: $1,500 Limit Omaha Hi-Low is set to resume in a little more than an hour here at the Rio and it is Dan Hirleman from Tempe, Arizona who will head into play with the chip lead after finishing with 353,000 in chips last night. James Bucci from Hollywood, Maryland sits in second place.

Those two will have to contend with a field that includes a number of WSOP bracelet holders including Konstantin Puchkov, Frankie O'Dell, Dan Heimiller, Gary Benson, and 2004 WSOP Main Event Champion Greg Raymer. One WSOP bracelet holder that deserves special mention is Calen McNeil who won this very event at the 2013 WSOP. McNeil started Day 2 with a very short stack but grinded his way into respectable position and has a very good shot at defending his title.

Others still in contention include Maria Ho and Chris Tryba who will both have to overcome short stacks if they want to win first-place prize money of $283,275. Seating assignments and chip counts can be found here: Day 3 Seating Assignments.

Play will resume at 1 p.m. PDT. PokerNews will be here until we crown a winner so check in frequently for our live updates.
