Tyler Cornell Eliminated in 9th Place ($45,247)

Tyler Cornell - 9th place
Tyler Cornell - 9th place

As the action folded round to Tyler Cornell in the cutoff, he raised the action to 80,000 and found callers in both Justin Zaki and Chadwick Grimes from the blinds.

The {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop was checked to Cornell who moved all in . . . for his last 5,000 with both Zaki and Grimes calling.

The {Q-Hearts} was checked on the turn, as was the {3-Diamonds} on the river.

"Nine?" announced and questioned Cornell as he hoped to remain alive in the tournament by tabling his {J-Spades}{9-Spades}.

Zaki mucked, but it would be Grimes' {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} that would collect the pot and send Cornell to the rail in 9th place for a $45,247 payday.

Cornell Crippled, Smith Doubles

Benjamin Smith opened to 95,000 from early position, and with the action on Tyler Cornell, he moved all in from the button.

Smith instantly called and we were off to our first showdown of the final table.

Cornell: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Smith: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{J-Spades}{7-Spades} to see Cornell slip to 90,000, as Smith doubles through to 1,560,000 in chips.
