Jon Lane raised in middle position to 10,500 and was called by Jimmy Fricke in late position. The flop came and Lane checked to Fricke who bet 14,000. Lane then raised to 40,000 and Fricke opted to call. When the hit on the turn Lane bet out 40,000 and Fricke called once more. After the fell on the river both players checked.
Lane revealed his and Fricke mucked his hand. Fricke was left with 111,000 while Lane boosted his stack up to 340,000.
Joseph Couden ended up all in holding the against Patrick Renkers . Couden was going to need some help to avoid elimination, but the board ran out and Couden hit the rail in 24th place.
Jonathan Jaffe raised from middle position to 10,500, William Kakon then moved all in from the cut off for 53,000. A silent Noah Boeken then flat called from the small blind. Jaffe folded and cards were tabled.
Kakon:
Boeken:
The cards fell , Kakon wasn't able to grab hold of anything and was summarily eliminated. With this pot Boeken now sits above 350,000 in chips and is not someone to be messed with.
We didn't see what happened when Nicholas WIlbur was eliminated, but after he was knocked out he tracked us down and wanted to make sure we got the hand he went bust on.
According to him, he had around 28,000 in chips and moved all in from under the gun. Action then folded around to Brian England in the small blind who also moved all in for around 75,000 in chips. Everyone else folded and cards were flipped over.
Wilbur:
England:
The cards came out and England was awarded the put with two pair aces of eights. WIlbur unfortunately settled for a pair of aces and a bust out. Wilbur will be taking home $9,747 for his efforts today.
These players all made the third tier of the payout scale and will pocket $7,653 for their efforts.

A player in early position made a bet and was left with less than one more bet, lucky for him Vincent van der Fluit reraised and gave him some protection. The early position short stack called and was all in.
Short Stack:
Fluit:
The flop came out giving the short stack top two pair and Fluit a gut shot straight draw. A touched down on the turn, and Fluit would need a ten and a ten only in order to deliver the knock out blow. Indeed th last card was the and Fluit was able to hit his straight and send his opponent to the rail.
