Another Double For Rickhuss

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Corey Kempson opened it up to 85,000 from middle position and short-stack Wayde Rickhuss was the lone caller from the big blind.

On the {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop, Rickhuss moved all in for 215,000.

Kempson went into the tank.

“Think I have to call, not really sure,” Kempson said as he put in the chips to put Rickhuss at risk.

Kempson: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Rickhuss: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Rickhuss was ahead and it stayed that way as the dealer flipped over a {3-Hearts} on the turn and the {4-Diamonds} on the river.

WhiteRabbito Left Short

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Dylan Honeyman has just taken a huge hit to his stack!

It started with Vincent Chua opening it up to 160,000 from the hijack. Dylan Honeyman then three bet all in from the big blind, with Chua having 645,000 total and Honeyman having around 1 million. Chua snapped it off and the cards were turned over.

Chua: {a-}{k-}
Honeyman: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Chua looked like he might be going home by the time the dealer had rolled out a turn on a {4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts} board, but the {k-Hearts} river gave him the goods to double up.

Edison Takes Some Off Dennis

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded to Edison Nguyen on the button and he opened it up to 90,000. Dennis Huntly called out of the big blind and the dealer flipped over a {6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop. Both players checked here and a {j-Hearts} hit the turn. This time Huntly quickly led out for 130,000 and Nguyen called just as quickly.

When the board completed with a {2-Hearts}, Huntly squirmed in his chait, checked his cards a couple of times and ultimately checked. Nguyen then bet 230,000 and Huntly decided to let it go.

Cameron Bryce Eliminated in 9th Place ($18,550)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Just like that, we have lost a player!

The end of Cameron Bryce's tournament began when Dennis Huntly opened it up to 65,000 from under the gun plus one. Bryce then three-bet all in for 405,000 from the cut off. Vincent Chua flat-called from the small blind and it was back on Huntly.

"Did he call?" asked Huntly. "Alright I'm all in."

Chua now had a decision. He tanked and eventually folded.

Huntly tabled his {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, which crushed Bryce's {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and it was all over for Bryce in 9th place.

Huntly's chip lead increases!

Michael Caruana Eliminated in 10th Place ($11,400)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The final table is set!

It was Michael Caruana who was eliminated as the final table bubble.

It started with Vincent Chua opening to 75,000 from under the gun. Caruana then three-bet all in for 560,000 from the button. Chua took some time to think, yelled "This might be it boys!" to his rail and then called.

Caruana: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Chua: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

"Yessssssss!" Chua yelled.

And the yells only got louder when the dealer spread out a {k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} board.

For his 10th place finish Caruana picks up $11,400.

The nine remaining players have locked up $18,550.

We will post the final table seating draw as soon as possible.

In the meantime, the nine players are heading on a 40-minute dinner break, returning at 8:40 p.m. local time.
