Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The remaining nine players are off on a 15-minute break with the first two levels of play on the day now finished.

Friedrich Neunkirchner Eliminated in 10th Place ($2,888)

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Friedrich Neunkirchner
Friedrich Neunkirchner

Carl Garland called a 12,000-chip open from Ronald McDonald before Friedrich Neunkirchner shoved in for only 7,000 more.

Both players called and checked it all the way down to the river on a {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} board. Garland bet the river, McDonald folded and the hands were revealed

Garland: {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Neunkirchner: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Garland's two pair was good and Neunkirchner said goodbye 10th.

Gurney-Goldman Gets There

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Steven Gurney-Goldman
Steven Gurney-Goldman

Steven Gurney-Goldman open-shoved {K-Clubs}{3-Spades} and got the call from Loukas Michael with a dominating {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

They both made pairs on the {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop but Michael's was bigger. The {A-Spades} river left Michael ahead and Gurney-Goldman on the brink, but the {3-Diamonds} river was the right one for Gurney-Goldman, making him trip treys to double up.

Turner Bubbles

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Lowell Turner

Ken Moore bet 25,000 in a multi-way pot on the turn with the board reading {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Only Lowell Turner called and the {3-Spades} river came down, prompting Turner to push all in. Moore called instantly with {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Turner's {J-Spades}{8-Hearts} was crushed.

With that, the bubble has burst and the 11 players remaining are all in the money.

Rivered Dueces Full

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Steven Gurney-Goldman
Steven Gurney-Goldman

Steven Gurney-Goldman bet 8,000 into a 20,000-chip pot on the river with the board reading {10-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}, heads up with chip leader Carl Garland.

Garland responded by bumping it up 25,000 chips more.

"This would be unfortunate if you rivered deuces full," said Gurney-Goldman, making the crying call with {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

Sure enough, Garland turned over {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for deuces full of aces, leaving Gurney-Goldman short.

Turner Doubles

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Lowell Turner

It was a slow start to the day with hand-for-hand play on the bubble before a short stacked Lowell Turner got it in with {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} against Loukas Michael's {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

Much to Michael's disappointment the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Turner made a pair to double through him.

Hand-for-hand continues now at two six-handed tables.
