Nixon Dumped Out by Clinkscales
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jamie Nixon moved all in from under the gun for 10,100 and was called by Rex Clinkscales in the cutoff.
Jamie Nixon: K♥Q♥
Rex Clinkscales: A♠9♣
Nixon was behind, but the flop of 7♦6♥4♥ gave the Brit additional hope with a flush draw. He lost outs when the A♦ landed on the turn and the 5♣ cemented his exit against Clinkscales' top pair.
Meanwhile, at a neighboring table we noticed that the early chip leader Dan Heimiller had busted out. It remains to be seen if the two-time bracelet winner will reenter before late registration closes at the end of Level 12.

Pryor Takes Out Lew
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action was joined as the board was being dealt. Robbi Jade Lew was all in from the button, with Adam Pryor calling from the hijack.
Robbi Jade Lew: 4♦3♦
Adam Pryor: A♠8♣
With one card to come, the board showed 2♦A♥3♠2♥. Lew's smaller two pair would need help to improve, but the 4♥ river sent her away from the table and back into the late registration line to get a new stack.

Lightning on the River for Pederson to Score Elimination
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player in late position moved all in for 26,000 and Travis Pederson re-shoved over the top from the button. Action folded around and the late position player was at risk and racing.
Late Position: K♣Q♦
Travis Pederson: 9♠9♦
Pederson held the lead on the J♣5♦4♥ flop. But the Q♠ on the turn shifted fortunes in the hand, and the late position player was just one card away from a double-up.
But as fate runs in poker, Pederson hit his two-outer in the form of the 9♥ on the river to score the elimination.

Sickle's Sixes Do It Again
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Michael Van Sickle bet 4,000 from early position and the big blind defended.
The flop came 10♣9♥K♣, and both players quickly checked.
When the Q♠ peeled off on the turn, the big blind checked to Sickle. He led out for 6,000 and his opponent was quick to fold. Van Sickle revealed he was holding 6x6x, the same hand he won a pot from earlier.

Minghini Sniffs Out Opponent's Bluff
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action was joined with only two players in the hand and the full 8♥3♣J♥3♥10♣ board on display. The player in the big blind bet 16,000. Jarod Minghini, on the button, shuffled his chips for several moments before making the call.
His opponent revealed A♠2♣. Minghini turned over 8♦4♥ to win the pot with two pair. Minghini, who has five WSOP Circuit rings, added more chips to what is now a healthy stack.

Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
In the first of two hands, Andreas Kniep jammed all in for about 30,000. The big blind was quick to fold as he revealed the 2♠. Kniep told his opponent to pick one and they revealed the J♦.
The following hand, Kniep bet 3,000 from the button. The big blind called to see a flop.
While the flop came the 10♥7♣Q♣, the big blind was quick to check. Kniep led out for 2,500 and received a call from his opponent.
The river was the 8♣, and both players checked. Kniep revealed A♦J♠, while his opponent had J♣8♦ to scoop the pot with his rivered pair.
