Hand #11 - Jan Von Halle Eliminated in 9th Place ($34,196)

Hand #11 - Barry Cales has the button in seat 8, Arnold limps for 20,000, Von Halle moves all in from the cutoff for about 148,000, Chu calls from the big blind, and Arnold folds. Von Halle shows {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, while Chu has the lead with {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. Von Halle needs to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, and Von Halle needs something runner-runner to survive.

The turn card is the {3-Spades}, and Von Halle picks up a gut-shot straight draw. He needs a four, and only a four will save him.

The river card is the {10-Diamonds}, and Michael Chu wins the pot with two pair, aces and fives.

Jan Von Halle is eliminated in ninth place, earning $34,196. The next player eliminated will receive $46,862 for eighth place.
