Big Action Preflop

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Matthew Kingston was the first player to act, and he raised to 4,200. Frank Wyville re-raised to 16,500 on his direct left, Todd Bartlett cold-called on his direct left, and the action folded back to Kingston, who quickly folded.

Both players checked on a flop of {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and the turn was the {9-Spades}. Wyville check-called a bet of 15,000, and again both players knuckled when the {5-Spades} completed the board.

Wyville showed {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, and Bartlett tabled a matching {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

King-High Good for Moneymaker

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Jovan Sudar raised to 4,500 in the cutoff, Chris Moneymaker called on the button, and both players checked on a flop of {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. The turn was the {a-Diamonds}, Sudar bet 7,000, and Moneymaker called.

The {q-Diamonds} completed the board, Sudar fired out another 13,000, and Moneymaker tank-called.

Sudar mucked his hand, and Moneymaker was forced to show {k-Spades}{2-Spades} for effectively king-high.

Kyle Cartwright
Kyle Cartwright

Todd Bartlett led out for 30,000 on a board of {2-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and Kyle Cartwright moved all in. Bartlett made the call, showing {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for top two pair, and Cartwright sighed as he showed {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a lesser two pair.

The {7-Diamonds} bricked off on the river, and the seven-time WSOP Circuit ring winner was eliminated.

"Good luck, everyone," he offered before exiting.

The final 10 players are now redrawing to the final table.

Lance Dorsey's comeback has come to an abrupt end.

Wyville is up to 150,000 chips.
