Chris Bjorin Eliminated in 12th Place ($12,950)

Chip leader Vanessa Selbst has eliminated another player. The unfortunate soul this time being Chris Bjorin.

It all went it on the turn with the board reading {3-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {J-Spades}.

Selbst showed {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}.
Bjorin showed {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {5-Clubs}.

The river {3-Hearts} missed Bjorin and he leaves us just a little short of a WSOP final table.

Kyle Hegeman Eliminated in 13th ($10,360)

Eugene Todd limped from middle position, Stanley Statkiewicz completed from the small blind, and Kyle Hegeman checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Statkiewicz checked, Hegeman bet 27,000, and Todd called. Statkiewicz then reraised pot, Hegeman called with his last chips, and Todd got out of the way.

Statkiewicz: {2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Hegeman: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Statkiewicz had the set of threes, but Hegeman had a big 'ol wrap going. Lots of cards could help Hegeman.

Unfortunately for him, none of those cards arrived. The {6-Hearts} on the turn gave him even more outs. But {2-Spades} on the river meant Hegeman was gone. Statkiewicz is up over 300,000.

Your Top Five

Shamus
Shamus
Vanessa Selbst -- 460,000
Jamie Pickering -- 293,000
Calen McNeil -- 182,000
Craig Natte -- 170,000
Stanley Statkiewicz -- 170,000

Thirteen players remain (see "Chip Counts" for the other players' current stacks). They are playing down to the final nine who will come back tomorrow for the final table.

A dinner break is scheduled about 15 minutes from now, but it is possible the players may just play through.

Rob Hollink is Our 15th-Place Finisher ($10,360)

Rob Hollink must be wishing he hadn't drawn a seat at Vanessa Selbst's table when we reached 17 players, as she's just busted him.

All the money went in on a flop of {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs}.

Hollink was holding {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {K-Clubs} for an overpair and flush draw.

Selbst was holding {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {7-Spades} {10-Spades} for a bigger overpair.

The turn {8-Hearts} and river {J-Spades} brought a set for Hollink but also a backdoor straight for Selbst, meaning we lose Hollink in 15th.

A three way preflop all-in confrontation just took place between Jordan Morgan, Colin York, and Craig Natte with Morgan and York being the all-in players.

Morgan tabled {10-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs} {10-Spades}.
Colin York tabled {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}.
Craig Natte tabled {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}.

All the way to the river we went {5-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts}.

Natte made the nut flush and eliminated two players in one go!

Morgan, being the shortest stack, is our 19th-place finisher ($5,905).
York just crept in to the next pay level in 18th ($7,770)

After slipping down to just 2,000 in chips, Greg Cox has won a series of pots and has built back up to 48,000. Most recently, Cox took a big pot from Colin York when his {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} held up against York's {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.
