Steve Schreiner: J10 All in
Jim Knight: 65

Schreiner couldn't pull ahead as the board finished out 2Q to mark his elimination on the money and final table bubble.

Level 11 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joel Smith
Joel Smith

Jeremy Anderson open-jammed in middle position and two-time champion Joel Smith called behind him to send fellow champion Craig Ashley into the tank into the big blind. Eventually Ashley called to put both players at risk with the final table bubble looming.

Joel Smith: AJ All in
Jeremy Anderson: AQ All in
Craig Ashley: A7

Anderson had both opponents pipped but Smith took the lead on the flop of J9K. It was short-lived as the Q turn put Anderson ahead before the 3 river to mark Smith's elimination.

"The rookie who hasn't qualified yet takes it!" Anderson cheered as he scooped the three-way pot.
