Jeff Finucane Exits in 13th Place

The Big Poppa pops out
The Big Poppa pops out
A full double up for Mike Carlson with pocket aces left Jeff Finucane and his thoroughly beaten {K-Spades} {10-Spades} with just 20,000. He got it in under the gun the next hand and got called by Michael Dyer in the big blind; a swift and painless finish for Finucane in 13th place.

Finucane: {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
Dyer: {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}

Board: {5-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {K-Spades} {3-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}

Eric Ladny Eliminated in 14th Place ($29,148)

One-outed
One-outed
Ladny got his chips in preflop against Scott Hall; they flipped, in both senses of the word.

Hall: {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs}
Ladny: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}

Flop: {6-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

Some ooh-ing from the rail...

Turn: {A-Hearts}

Further ooh-ing, as Ladny looked set to double up...

River: {5-Diamonds}

Smack! A one-outer there for Hall, and Ladny hits the rail.

Clogged Hartery

John Hartery moved all in, but Brent Sheirbon apparently didn't notice this and attempted to make a standard raise form the button. The floor was called, and it was ruled that he could fold but his attempted raise would be forfeited. He folded.

Perhaps lured by the thought of those extra chips in the pot, David Mandt called from the small blind, but sighed mightily when he saw Hartery's hand.

Mandt: {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}
Hartery: {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Board: {2-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {J-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}

Hartery up to 370,000; Mandt in some trouble with 220,000.

Taylor Busto Too

[user46392]

Taylor - not a stitch
Taylor - not a stitch
And no sooner had that been typed up, than a raising war erupted between Peter Rho and Chris Taylor, resulting in all the chips going in preflop, Taylor all in for his tournament life.

Bit of a cooler, really:

Taylor: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Rho: {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}

"Whoooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," said Jonathan McGowan.

Board: {4-Spades} {9-Spades} {7-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

Thus we lose a sighing Taylor, while Rho is up to 1.2 million.

Doubling Best Thing to Happen to Carlson All Day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Mike Carlson, down to 250,000 or so, open-shoved, only for Michael Dyer to re-shove to his left. Everyone else folded. The cards were flipped, and Carlson sighed.

Carlson: {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Dyer: {A-Hearts} {10-Spades}

Flop: {8-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

Carlson: "Pretty good."

Turn: {9-Diamonds}

Carlson: "Not bad."

River: {7-Spades}

Carlson: "Pretty good. That's the best thing that's happened to me all day."

Koon Down Too

Dressed for final table, short of chips though

We have also lost Jason Koon from the same table, and Scott Hall has been moved over there to balance the tables. 16 runners remain.

Von Sachsen Knackered

[user46392]

Runner-runner OUT
Runner-runner OUT
Olav von Sachsen raised under the gun, and it folded around to Anthony Harb on the button who moved all in to cover von Sachsen. A swift call, and they were coinflipping...

Von Sachsen: {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}
Harb: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}

Flop: {2-Spades} {5-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Harb: "Aww."

Turn: {Q-Hearts}

River: {10-Hearts}

Harb: "YESSSSSSS!!!!" and similar, as he made runner-runner straight to knock von Sachsen out. He immediately apologized for his outburst, but received a warning for excessive celebration anyway.

Harb Work

[user46392]
[user46392]
Chip leader Michael Dyer raised in mid position, but was met with a reraise from Adam Adler in the small blind -- and then a shove from Anthony Harb in the big blind for 580,000 total. Dyer swiftly got out of the way, and Adler tanked up for a while, before eventually passing.
