888poker Ambassador Chris "888Moorman" Moorman Eliminated

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The action folded around to JustGamblin in the small blind, who shoved for more than 40,000. This more than covered Moorman's remaining stack and he called from the big blind.

The duo was flipping with Moorman holding {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} and JustGamblin holding {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Moorman odds to win the hand went down significantly after his opponent paired the {3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop. He was drawing even thinner after the {a-Hearts} hit the turn, giving his opponent trip and eliminating the possibility of any runner-runner outs.

Moorman was eliminated in 484th place after he was unable to find one of the two sixes he needed on the river, which instead came the {10-Spades} handing a nice pot to JustGamblin.

Nicolau “nicofellow” Villa-Lobos

Chris "888Moorman" Moorman is now the last 888poker Ambassador remaining in the tournament after Nicolau "nicofellow" Villa-Lobos was eliminated getting it all in with {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} against two opponents.

A stack that was shorter than Villa-Lobos held {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, while a bigger stack held {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The board ran out {3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} to give the big-stacked opponent a full house, while Villa-Lobos was unable to improve his preflop holdings and was eliminated from the tournament in 600th place.
