Marsha Waggoner Eliminated in 9th Place ($12,822)

Marsha Waggoner - 10th place
Marsha Waggoner - 10th place

Well, we have just two ladies left. Aussie Marsha Waggoner has just been eliminated at the hands of Yarron Bendor.

Bendor: (x-x) / {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} / (x)
Waggoner: (x-x) / {2-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} / (x)

When Bendor bet fifth street, Waggoner raised. Bendor raised again, and the call put the lady all in. She was in trouble, as Bendor had started the hand rolled up.

Bendor: {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} / {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} / (x)
Waggoner: {A-Hearts} {2-Clubs} / {2-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} / (x)

Bendor didn't fill up with his river {6-Diamonds}, so Waggoner was drawing live to the heart flush. It was her only shot at staying alive, but the river was the wrong shade of red. The {9-Diamonds} was no use, and she's been eliminated on the final table bubble.

Chris Tryba Eliminated in 10th Place ($12,822)

Chris Tryba
Chris Tryba

After doubling Marsha Waggoner, Chris Tryba was left with a stack of approximately 60k. He ended up having the bring in and made it the full 12,000, which Brandon Shack-Harris ended up raising. Tryba fired back and eventually all of his chips got in before the turn.

Tryba: {6-Spades}{3-Clubs} | {4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / (X)
Shack-Harris: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} / {J-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} / {2-Diamonds}

Shack-Harris ended up making a flush on sixth street which meant Tryba needed either a six or four on seventh to stay alive. He squeezed it out, but it was not meant to be as he flung it to the muck.

Sanjay Pandya Eliminated in 11th Place ($10,051)

We picked up Sanjay Pandya's final hand on fourth street as Yarron Bendor check-folded. That left Pandya and Chris Bjorin heads-up.

Pandya: (x-x) / {3-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {A-Hearts} / (x)
Bjorin: (x-x) / {5-Clubs} {2-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs} / (x)

Bjorin bet fourth and fifth streets, and Pandya put his last 5,000 into the pot on sixth, revealing {J-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} from his down cards. He had a low draw, and Bjorin's river {4-Spades} didn't change that. Pandya was trailing, and he needed to catch a card to stay alive.

He couldn't. His last card was a blank {8-Hearts}, and that's no good. Bjorin takes the low with the seventy-five and his ace-queen high was good enough to give him the scoop. Pandya is out in 11th place, good for more than $10,000.

Zeidman Charging Hard

It looks like Cory Zeidman has won a few pots while we were back here writing. He's in control of this thing with more than 20% of the chips in play. Sanjay Pandya seems to have dropped a chunk of chips to Bonnie Rossi, as well.

John Monnette Eliminated in 12th Place ($10,051)

John Monnette - 12th place
John Monnette - 12th place

John Monnette is one unhappy camper right now. The dealer who was responsible for the blowup earlier just pushed back into the table, and Monnette was once again pretty upset. He and Chris Tryba asked the floor why the dealer was coming back, but the floor was having none of it.

"He did nothing wrong," the floor stood firm. "I just checked the tapes and saw the whole thing. He did nothing wrong."

We walked to the other table to count chips for just 45 seconds or so, and during that time, Monnette was eliminated by Xuan Liu. He's out in 12th place, and the pay bump up over $10,000 will likely be little consolation.

We didn't catch all the action, but we do know that Poker Hall of Famer Linda Johnson was eliminated after Cory Zeidman hit the river to make two pair.

Johnson: {8-Hearts}{6-Spades} / {6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} / {J-Hearts}

Johnson was very gracious in her exit and continued to demonstrate that she is truly one of the game's greatest ambassadors.
