Sixes Good for Racener

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

John Racener completed with the {5-Hearts} and David Singer called with the {K-Diamonds}. Singer then led out on fourth, Racener called, and then both players checked down the rest of the streets.

Racener: {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs} / {5-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Clubs} / {7-Spades}
Singer: {x-}{x-} / {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{a-Spades} / {x-}

Racener tabled a pair of sixes, and it was good enough as Singer mucked his hand.

Plenty of Chops

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

There haven't been any pots of note yet, at least none that didn't end with a chop.

In a recent one, Chris George completed with the {A-Clubs} and Brian Hastings called with the {10-Diamonds}. Hastings then called a bet on fourth before raising on fifth. George called and then check-called bets on both sixth and seventh.

George: {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts} / {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} / {5-Spades}
Hastings: {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} / {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / {2-Spades}

Hastings had the high with two pair, while George had an 8-6-5-3-A for the low.

Richard Sklar Eliminated in 9th Place ($34,550); John Monnette Eliminated in 8th Place ($41,277)

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Richard Sklar (9th) & John Monnette (8th)
Richard Sklar (9th) & John Monnette (8th)

A big hand just went down that resulted in the eliminations of Richard Sklar and John Monnette.

It happened when the two engaged in a raising war with George Danzer that resulted in Sklar getting all in for 88,000. Danzer then bet fourth, Monnette called, and the action repeated itself on fifth. Danzer bet once again on sixth and Monnette called off for his last 12,000.

Sklar: {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} / {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / {J-Diamonds}
Danzer: {k-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} / {7-Hearts}
Monnette: {a-Spades}{3-Spades} / {6-Spades}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}/ {x-}

Danzer tabled kings full of nines, which beat Sklar, who failed to make a low. Monnette squeezed out his last card, and when he didn't like what he saw he mucked.

"I just wanted to say hi to all the players at the Village Club Card Room in San Diego," Sklar told us as his final words.

The double elimination means the remaining seven players will combine to the final table over at the ESPN main stage. There will be a short break for this to occur. We'll have the new seat draw and updated counts for you shortly.

Norman Chad Eliminated in 10th Place ($34,500)

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Norman Chad - 10th Place
Norman Chad - 10th Place

Norman Chad was all in for his last 4,000 in the ante and Brian Hastings completed. The rest of the players folded and it was just between the online star and famed ESPN commentator.

Chad: {q-Spades}{5-Hearts} / {k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades} / {7-Clubs}
Hastings: {a-Spades}{3-Spades} / {6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds} / {10-Hearts}

Chad ended up with queens and fives, but it was no good as Hastings hit aces and tens on seventh. Chad bowed out in 10th place for $34,500, no doubt pleased to pocket the extra $5K after Forrest busted the hand before.

Ted Forrest Eliminated in 11th Place ($29,399)

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Ted Forrest - 11th Place
Ted Forrest - 11th Place

After being crippled down to 17,000, Ted Forrest put 5,000 in the ante and then got the other 12,000 all in.

It actually happened when an even shorter-stacked Norman Chad had the bring-in for 5,000 with the {2-Diamonds} (leaving himself just 4,000 behind) and Forrest completed all in for 12,000 with the {6-Clubs}. Brian Hastings called and Chad actually opted to fold knowing that if Forrest busted he would earn $5,000 more in prize money.

Forrest: {k-Spades}{6-Hearts} / {6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} / {9-Clubs}
Hastings: {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} / {q-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} / {4-Diamonds}

Hastings ended up with queens up, which bested the jacks and sixes of Forrest, who earned $29,399 for his 11th-place finish.
