Erik Seidel Eliminated in 13th Place ($32,057); Phil Laak Eliminated in 12th Place ($36,858)

Phil Laak - 12th place
Phil Laak - 12th place

Tehan : {X-}{X-}/{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} - folded
Seidel: {X-}{X-}/{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}/{X-}
Benyamine: {X-}{X-}/{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}/{X-}
Laak: {X-}{X-}/{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}/{2-Clubs}

Joe Tehan was the bring in with the {3-Clubs} and Erik Seidel completed. David Benyamine called, as did Phil Laak and Tehan. On fourth street, Tehan and Seidel checked to Benyamine who bet. Laak raised, chasing out Tehan. Seidel called all in and after another raise or two from Benyamine and Laak, both Seidel and Laak were all in for their tournament lives.

Seidel: {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Benyamine: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Laak: {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Benyamine was rolled up and it got even better when he caught the {8-Hearts} on fifth street to make a full house.

Seidel made two pair on fifth and had a chance to make a better full house than Benyamine on seventh. Laak, meanwhile, made queens up on sixth. Both had chances to make a better full house on seventh, but both came up short (Seidel {2-Diamonds}, Laak {2-Clubs}) and have been eliminated.

Eric Rodawig: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} FOLDED
Ted Forrest: {x-}{x-} / {5-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} / {x-}
Christopher George: {x-}{x-} / {J-Spades}{A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} / {x-}

Eric Rodawig had the bring in, Forrest and George limped in before it was checked to George on fourth and he bet. Rodawig folded but Forrest called. George then bet fifth and sixth before check-raising on seventh.

Forrest made the call and showed {A-}{8-}{x-} for a low, George flipped {A-}{8-}{8-} for aces up for the high. Chop it up boys.

Bill Chen Eliminated in 14th Place ($32,057)

Bill Chen - 14th Place
Bill Chen - 14th Place

Forrest: {X-}{X-}/{A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Chen: {X-}{X-}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}

After Ted Forrest completed on third street, Bill Chen raised. Forrest called and both checked fourth street. Forrest bet fifth street, getting a call from Chen. A pair of deuces gave Chen the on-board lead on sixth street and the rest of his stack got into the middle.

Chen tabled {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs} for queens up, but Forrest had him beat with {7-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a straight. Seventh street was dealt and the Forrest flipped over the {Q-Hearts}, taking away an out from Chen.

The {5-Hearts} did nothing for Chen and he's headed to the payout desk in 14th place.
