Jimmy Thomson Eliminated in 15th Place ($616)

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Chris Damick raised to 12,000 from middle position and Jimmy Thomson called from the big blind. On the {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, Thomson checked, Damick bet 15,000 and Thomson moved all in. Snap call.

"S***!" said Thomson as he showed the {J-Spades}{4-Hearts} for a stone bluff. Damick showed the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for an overpair and it held up to send Thomson out in 15th place.

Schrader Doubles Through Rivera

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Dave Schrader in the small blind and he raised to 20,000. Alex Rivera fired back with a reraise to 65,000 from the big, and Schrader paused before announcing all in. Rivera snap-called.

Schrader: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Rivera: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

Tough spot for Rivera, and he was unable to improve on the {9-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Hearts} board.
