Mikael Thuritz Eliminated in 22nd Place ($9,778)

Mikael Thuritz raised pre-flop and Cory Carroll called from the big blind. The flop was {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Carroll bet out, Thuritz moved all in and Carroll called. Thuritz showed {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for two pair while Carroll tabled {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for the set of 5s. The turn was {7-Spades} and the river was {Q-Hearts}. Carroll's set held up as Thuritz headed to the rail in 22nd place. He won $9,778. Carroll scooped a pot worth well over 500K. He's the new chipleader.

Tom Macey Making Moves

Tom Macey was on life support with around 10,000 in chips -- barely enough for three big blinds. He doubled up against Roland Isra then picked up plenty of blinds and antes with several uncontested preflop raises. He's now up to 42,000.

Chad Brown Folds a Full House

In the last hand before the dinner break, David Pham was under the gun and heads up against Vasile Buboi in the small blind, and some preflop action forced Chad Brown out of the pot in the big blind.

There was unknown action on the flop of {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The turn card was the {J-Hearts}, Buboi bet 20,000, Pham raised to 40,000, and Buboi folded. Pham took the pot.

Chad Brown, who had stayed around to watch the final hand, told Pham that he had folded K-9 -- Brown would have flopped a full house. Another player asked Pham to show his hand, hoping to see {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the straight flush, but Pham mucked his cards.
