Ryan Young is Eliminated in 11th Place ($49,632)

Let no one say that poker can't be a cruel game. In a battle of the blinds Kathy Liebert raised to 60,000 and Ryan Young reraised to 180,000. Liebert called, leaving Young just 60,000 behind, and they saw a flop of {J-Spades}{K-Spades}{2-Spades}. Young shipped his last 60,000 and Liebert called. Young had flopped a set of jacks, but Liebert had {A-Spades}{10-Spades} and flopped the nut flush. Young needed to boat up or hit a jack to stay alive, but the {6-Spades} fell on the turn and the {9-Hearts} on the river, and that was enough to eliminate him.

We're now redrawing seats, the remaining ten players will play together at the same table until one of them is eliminated and we set the final nine who will play for the bracelet tomorrow.
