Day 1b Chip Leader Ivan Zarate Eliminated in 7th Place ($3,109)

Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ivan Zarate - 7th Place
Ivan Zarate - 7th Place

Michael Trivett raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and Day 1b chip leader Ivan Zarate three-bet jammed for 330,000. Both blinds folded and Trivett snap-called.

Trivett: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Zarate: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

It was a flip but Zarate needed to improve to stay alive. That proved easier said than done though as the board ran out a lowly {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} to send Zarate to the rail in seventh place.

Capps Doubles Through Trivett

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jesse Capps got his stack of 310,000 all in preflop and was flipping for his tournament life against chip leader Michael Trivett.

Capps: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Trivett: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Capps was looking to hold to ship the double, and that's exactly what he did when the board ran out {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

Jason Pease Eliminated in 8th Place ($2,544)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jason Pease - 8th Place
Jason Pease - 8th Place

Jason Boriolo opened for 50,000 holding the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} in early position and Jason Pease three-bet jammed for 165,000 next to act. When action reached Michael Trivett in the cutoff he moved all in for around 1.7 million. The button and blinds all folded as did Boriolo.

Trivett: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Pease: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Pease got it in good and held on the {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop. The {2-Diamonds} turn was of no consequence but the {k-Spades} river was as Trivett spiked a pair of kings to score the elimination.

Day 1a Chip Leader Alan Mastic Eliminated in 9th Place ($2,040)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alan Mastic - 9th Place
Alan Mastic - 9th Place

Joel Danforth opened for 40,000 from the hijack and Alan Mastic three-bet jammed for 270,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Danforth and he opted to make the call.

Mastic: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Danforth: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

Mastic was ahead and held through the {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop as well as the {9-Diamonds} turn. However, the {a-Clubs} spiked on the river to drive a dagger through is heart.

Check out how the hand went down in this RunItUp.TV clip:

Capps Doubles Through Zarate

Level 21 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jesse Capps got his short stack of 170,000 all in preflop and was in prime shape to double through Ivan Zarate.

Zarate: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Capps: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {5-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Spades} flop left Zarate looking for running spades just to chop, but the {7-Diamonds} turn took away any chance of that happening. The meaningless {10-Diamonds} was run out on the river and Capps shipped the double.
