Pedley Eliminates Dunst with Kings - Final Table Set!

Tony Dunst - 10th Place
Tony Dunst - 10th Place
In an amazing turn of events, former tournament chip-leader Tony Dunst has been eliminated from the tournament by new tournament chip-leader Michael Pedley.

The two big stacks got it all in before the flop, Pedley with kings and Dunst with tens, and the board filled out {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} allowing Pedley's kings to hold up.

Dunst's elimination in tenth place ($6,575) set up our nine-handed final table, at which Michael Pedley will be the overwhelming chip-leader with approximately 200,000 in chips.

Anna Gets Her Chips Back

One hand after Anna Wroblewski lost half her stack to Rayan Nathan, she managed to recuperate by doubling through Michael Pedley with the exact same hand she'd had against Nathan: {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Anna had moved all in from the button and Pedley made the call in the big blind holding {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

The board filled out {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} and, once again, Anna Wroblewski survived an all in for her tournament life. With the win, Anna stacked up just over 25,000 in chips.

"Nine - Chop it up!"

Tony Dunst and Rayan Nathan
Tony Dunst and Rayan Nathan
Such was the request of Tony Dunst facing, potentially, a major hit to his stack after getting it all in holding {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts} against the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} of Rayan Nathan before the flop.

The board had filled out {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Dunst pleaded with the dealer for help. The dealer responded, placing the {9-Spades} on the river for a chop pot. Nathan could only grit his teeth and smile after the hand.
