Tom Dooley Eliminated in 20th Place ($12,242)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Tom Dooley - 20th Place
Tom Dooley - 20th Place

Facing a raise from Eric Spitzer, Tom Dooley pushed all in from the button. When Spitzer called, Dooley let out a groan, knowing he was probably beat.

Spitzer: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Dooley: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The flop of {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Spades} was no good for Dooley, but the {q-Clubs} turn gave him a few more outs. His chances of survival were squashed when the river fell {4-Diamonds}, sweeping his chips to Spitzer and eliminating him in 20th place for $12,242.

Dominick Minaya Eliminated in 21st Place ($12,242)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Dominick Minaya
Dominick Minaya

Dominick Minaya has been sent to the rail in 21st place after two losing hands in quick succession wiped him out.

First, Minaya lost all but 80,000 of his stack when he tangled with Peter Gould on a board reading {J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts} eventually calling a 48,000 river bet only to be shown {A-}{J-} for trip jacks.

A couple of hands later, Minaya moved all-in with what turned out to be {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} in middle position and was re-shoved on by Jim Jakobsen who held {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

By the river the board read {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Minaya was gone.

Herbert West - 22nd Place

Matt Stout sat in middle position and made a raise preflop. When action folded around to Herb West in the small blind, he pushed all in and Stout made the call.

Stout: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
West: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

West was in need of a lot of help if he was to survive this all-in hand and continue to play this tournament. The dealer spread out {4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and West didn't find the assistance he needed. He was eliminated in 22nd place and will collect $12,242.

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Justin Wilks - 25th Place
Justin Wilks - 25th Place

Justin Wilks moved all in from early position for 37,000, and action folded around to Jim Jakobsen, in the small blind. Jakobsen made the call putting Wilks' tourney life on the line.

Wilks: {A-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Jakobsen: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Wilks was in good shape to double up, but as the dealer fanned out the {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop, things didn't look so good any more. The turn {q-Diamonds} gave Wilks a few more outs but, the river {7-Clubs} sealed his fate and he was sent to the rail in 25th place.

David Leighton Eliminated in 26th Place ($12,242)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
David Leighton - 26th Place
David Leighton - 26th Place

David Leighton's tournament has ended after a cruel board run out a few moments ago.

Leighton started the ball rolling with a raise to 22,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Jonathan Gray in the cutoff and he announced "68,000" before raising to 68,000. The button and blinds folded, Leighton moved all-in and Gray quickly called.

Leighton: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Gray: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Leighton was a substantial favorite to double and his chances of doing so increased on the {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop. The {Q-Diamonds} turn gave some outs to a straight for Gray, but it was a real outside chance.

The river was the straight-completing {J-Hearts} and the entire table groaned. Gray covered Leighton and Leighton busted in 25th place.
