Jeff Tebben Eliminated in 16th Place ($4,150)

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jeff Tebben
Jeff Tebben

Jeff Tebben re-jammed for his last 200,000 in the small blind after facing an open from Donald Nimneh on the button. Nimneh called.

"You're ahead," said Tebben as he showed {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Nimneh tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The flop came {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} to give Tebben eight straight outs in addition to his two live cards.

"That's not the worst flop," Tebben stated. The turn came {k-Diamonds}, and he changed his tune upon adding diamond flush outs: "Oh, now I have too many outs. I can't hit," he said. He was right, as the board paired on the river {7-Hearts} and he was eliminated in 16th place.

With 15 players now remaining, all in contention are guaranteed a payday of at least $5,038.

Nines Win This Time

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Robert Palacios
Robert Palacios

Donald Nimneh opened to 75,000 under the gun and Rob Palacios re-jammed for 525,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Nimneh and he made a call after getting a count for the total.

Palacios: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Nimneh: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The table remarked at yet another preflop all-in scenario with pocket nines this level. The first two times, nines lost, but Palacios was able to hold and ultimately make a set on the river of a runout {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts} to score the double.

"Now there's somebody that knows how to play nines!" remarked tablemate Dan Dykhouse with a smile.

David Caron Eliminated in 17th Place ($4,150)

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
David Caron
David Caron

Mike Henrich opened to 65,000 in middle position and saw Dan Dykhouse re-jam in the hijack. David Caron called all in for 40,000 in the small blind and Henrich announced a call all in for less.

Caron: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Henrich: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Dykhouse: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

A jack appeared on the flop {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} to put Henrich out in front, where he further improved to top two pair as the turn {a-Clubs} and river {4-Clubs} completed the runout. His stack was totaled to be 440,000, and Dykhouse was left with just 80,000 after paying him off.

On the next hand, however, Dykhouse quadrupled after preflop action culminated with an isolation-raise from Jeff Tebben's {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}, which left him flipping for his tournament life with {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Two kings came on the flop and Dykhouse was back in action.

Caron's elimination brings the field down to 16.
