Joe Mitchell Eliminated in 9th Place ($22,793)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
Joe Mitchell
Joe Mitchell

A short-stacked Joe Mitchell raised all in for his last 60,000 and Phillip Hui re-raised to isolate Mitchell. Every one folded and Hui took back his 40,000 chip raise and the cards were turned over:

Hui: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Mitchell: {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The flop was {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Hui took the lead with a pair of fives. The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and Hui still held the lead. The river was the {J-Diamonds} and that would be the end of Mitchell's tournament as he was eliminated in ninth place. Hui would go on to win a good sized pot off of Ismael Bojang the very next hand to move his stack to 625,000 - an impressive feat considering he was below 25,000 just a few hours ago.

Bojang Picks Off Mitchell's Bluff

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Ismael Bojang
Ismael Bojang

Joe Mitchell raised in the hijack, Ismael Bojang called out of the small blind, and the dealer fanned {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Bojang led out, Mitchell raised, and Bojang called.

The turn was the {k-Spades}, Bojang fired out another bet, and Mitchell just called.

The German checked for the first time on the river ({10-Hearts}), and Mitchell immediately bet. Bojang sighed, then went deep into the tank before making a crying call.

Mitchell shook his head, fanning {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for completed air, and Bojang won the pot with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a single pair of kings.

Mitchell doubled the next hand through Michael Bees.

Don Zewin Eliminated in 10th Place ($17,828)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Don Zewin - 10th Place
Don Zewin - 10th Place

After several double ups and even a few triple ups, it was eight-six high that burst the official final table bubble.

Don Zewin raised from under the gun leaving just 20,000 behind. The action folded to Zack Milchman who tanked for a considerable amount of time before calling in the big blind.

The flop fell {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Milchman bet, and Zewin called all in.

Milchman: {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Zewin: {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Both players held very similar hands, and it was Milchman who scooped the entire pot with eight-six high when the turn and river bricked {a-Hearts}, {10-Diamonds} respectively.

Zewin earned $17,828 for his 10th-place finish, and Milchman chipped up to 570,000.

Glantz Has It

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Matt Glantz
Matt Glantz

Prior to the level change, Matt Glantz raised in early position, Joe Mitchell called on his direct left, and Jordan Morgan defended his big blind.

The flop fell {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Morgan and Glantz checked, and Mitchell tossed out a bet. Morgan called, Glantz raised, and only Morgan called.

The turn was the {q-Clubs}, Morgan checked, and Glantz bet. Morgan tanked for a bit before sending Glantz all in.

"I have it," Glantz said, getting the rest of his chips in the middle

Glantz: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Morgan: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{x-}

Glantz had nut-nut, and we saw that Morgan had a lower flush, but his hand hit the muck very quickly when the {9-Clubs} completed the board.

Scott Abrams Eliminated in 11th Place ($17,828)

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Scott Abrams
Scott Abrams

A brutal level saw Scott Abrams go from the chip lead to the short stack. With just 31,000 left, he raised first to act from the button, setting himself all in. Both Michael Bees and David Williams called out of the blinds.

Bees would check-fold to Williams bet on the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop and the hands were revealed:

Abrams: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Williams: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and the river was the {Q-Clubs} and Williams queen-high straight would be enough to eliminate Abrams in 11th place.

Steve Lustig - 12th Place
Steve Lustig - 12th Place

Ismael Bojang raised in early position, Steve Lustig moved all in from the cutoff, and Bojang called.

"I have the nuts," the German said, fanning {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Lustig needed some help with {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, but received none from the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} board.

"Good luck everyone," Lustig offered, shaking a few hands before exiting.

Melissa Burr Eliminated in 13th Place ($14,122)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Melissa Burr

A short-stacked Melissa Burr would get her last 51,000 in chips preflop against Jordan Morgan. Their hands were revealed:

Burr: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Morgan: {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The flop came {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}, giving Morgan a low and a pair of sixes to go with a baby flush draw. Burr had an open-ended straight draw to go with a pair of sevens which was in the lead. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} which changed nothing. The river, however, was the {6-Hearts} to give Morgan trip sixes, good enough to knock Burr out in 13th place. Everyone at the table congratulated Burr who was gracious in her departure.

Brett Richey would get all but a few of his chips in preflop when he four-bet Don Zewin. The last of them would find their way into the middle on the {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop.

"Got anything," asked Richey as he turned over {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

"Just a jack and a draw," answered Zewin as he revealed {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

The turn would give Zewin two pair as it was the {2-Spades}. The river was the {7-Spades} which changed nothing and Zewin delivered the knock out blow to Richey, who was eliminated in 14th place for $14,122.

After being crippled down to his last 25,000 in a pot against John D'Agostino, Sun Kwak would get chips in against Scott Abrams holding {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} with Abrams having {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

The board would run out {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts} to give Abrams trip kings which was good enough to eliminate Kwak in 15th place.
