Mikko Hirvonen Eliminated in 15th Place ($15,136)

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

On a flop of {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, Ryan Miller bet 21,000 from the blinds and Mikko Hirvonen called in the cutoff. Miller put the last 70,000 or so in on the {10-Diamonds} turn and Hirvonen quickly called it off.

Both players had the nuts but Miller's {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} had a redraw, albeit with dead outs, against {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Hirvonen patted the table with both hands.

Lawrence Berg - 16th place

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Anthony Zinno raised to 9,000 from under the gun and Lawrence Berg called from the big blind.

Berg drew one and Zinno drew two as Berg bet out 12,500.

Zinno made the call, and after Berg drew one, Zinno rapped pat.

Berg checked, Zinno bet 40,000, and Berg announced a pot-sized raise to 165,000, leaving himself about 10,000 behind. Zinno signaled that the rest was going in, and Berg obliged as both players stood pat.

Berg fanned his {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}, but it would be Zinno's {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for a number two that would send Berg out of the tournament in 16th place.
