Olivier Correge eliminated in 7th Place ($4,060)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Olivier Correge
Olivier Correge

Josh Supsak opened to 52,000 and a short stacked Olivier Correge moved all in. Armando Then in the big blind also moved all in, leading Josh to stand quickly out of his chair.

"I don't think I can fold this. Guys, this may take a minute," Josh said.

He stood there, his arms crossed. "Count it please."

The dealer counted it out and it was for just over 800,000.

"I don't know if I have this one in me to fold. I can't believe you did that against the only guy with more chips then you."

Finally, Josh folded Queens face up and found out that he had made a good fold - well, kind of - as Then had Queens as well. Olivier was dominated with his {3-}{3-} and when the board ran out {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} he was eliminated in 7th place.

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Armando Then opened to 40,000 in early position, and three players called; Josh Supsak (cutoff), Craig Feldherr (button), and Olivier Correge (big blind). The dealer fanned {7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, Correge and Then checked, and Supsak fired 85,000. Only Correge called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}, Correge tanked for over a minute before checking, and Supsak moved all in for effectively 270,000 or so.

Correge mulled the decision over for a bit, but ultimately folded.

Herald Barber Eliminated in 8th Place ($3,045)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Herald Barber - 8th Place
Herald Barber - 8th Place

Herald Barber moved all in for 150,000 on the button, and Bob Horan quickly called in the big blind.

Barber: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Horan: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Horan was a discernable favorite to win the hand, but the odds evened out when the dealer fanned {6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, giving Barber a flush draw and a backdoor straight draw. The turn was the {8-Clubs}, giving Barber two outs to make trips, but the {7-Diamonds} bricked off on the river.

He is eliminated in eighth place, and Horan is up to 700,000 chips.

Kenneth Jacoby Eliminated in 9th Place ($2,030)

Kenneth Jacoby

Armando Then raised to 150,000 and Kenneth Jacoby moved all in for about double that. Then made the call and showed {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} while Jacoby turned over {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. It would be a race that Then would win as the board ran out {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and with that Jacoby is eliminated in 9th place.
