Gettinger Folds Aces

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

James Gettinger called a preflop raise out of the big blind from Bennett Ellenbogen, who opened in early position, then led out for a bet on a flop of {10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Ellenbogen raised to 145,000, Gettinger called, the turn was the {j-Spades}.

Gettinger checked, Ellenbogen moved all in for around 500,000, and Gettinger tanked for two minutes or so before folding {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} face up.

Ellenbogen mucked his hand facedown.

Timothy Pirraglia Eliminated in 11th Place ($1,841)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

An extremely short-stacked Timothy Pirraglia moved all in preflop from the button, and Maggie Morris called the extra big blind or two from the big blind.

Pirraglia: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Morris: {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Morris won the unconventional flip as the board came {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, and Pirraglia hit the rail.

We are now down to a final table of 10. We will have a seat draw for you shortly.

Todd Schweitzer Eliminated in 12th Place ($1,841)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Todd Schweitzer moved all in for 107,000 in late position, Anthony Sivolella called on the button, and both players in the blinds folded.

Schweitzer: {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Sivolella: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

The {k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop gave both parties a pair, but Schweitzer remained in the lead with a pair of aces. Unfortunately for him the turn was the {k-Diamonds}, giving Sivolella trips, and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board.

Schweitzer exits in 12th place, earning $1,841.

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Bennett Ellenbogen raised in early position, James Gettinger defended his big blind, and the flop fell {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Gettinger check-called a bet of 45,000, both players checked after the turn brought the {5-Clubs}, and the {9-Hearts} completed the board.

Gettinger led out for 82,000, Ellenbogen raised to 200,000, and after mulling the decision over for a bit, Gettinger called.

"Ace-high," Ellenbogen announced, pushing his hand towards the muck.

Gettinger revealed {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a pair of kings, dragging the pot.
