Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
David Yonnotti
David Yonnotti

Roongsak Griffeth opened to 225,000 from the button as the short stack. David Yonnotti moved all in from the small blind for about 1,700,000. The big blind folded and Griffeth made the call for 1,170,000 effective.

Roongsak Griffeth: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
David Yonnotti: {6-}{6-}

The board ran out {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Griffeth secured the full double that left Yonnottie with about three big blinds.

On the next hand, David Dowdy opened to 180,000 from middle position. Over to Yonnotti on the button, he said, "Alright Georgia, let's do it." He moved all in for slightly more, 205,000. Dowdy called.

David Dowdy: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
David Yonnotti: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board showed {6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and gave Dowdy the win.

Three big hands in a row didn't go Yonnotti's way and he was eliminated in eighth place.

Raghavan Rivers a Flush to Survive and Double Up

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

After Timothy McDermott opened to 175,000, Ravi Raghavan jammed with 1,740,000 behind. After getting an official count, David Yonnotti, with Raghavan covered, moved all in as well. McDermott snap folded, and the two all-in players flipped their cards.

Ravi Raghavan: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
David Yonnotti: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

With Raghavan behind, the {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop saw him pick up a backdoor flush draw. He hit his first runner with the {2-Clubs} turn, and the {9-Clubs} river completed the flush for Raghavan, giving him the pot and doubling his stack of chips.

McDermott Takes it on the Flop

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

David Yonnotti opened to 160,000 from late position. Timothy McDermott, on the button, raised to 500,000. After the blinds got out of the way and a quick clarification of the raise amount, Yonnotti put in the call, giving heads-up action to the flop with over 1,000,000 already in the middle.

On the {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop, McDermott continued for 300,000. After a brief moment of thought, Yonnotti mucked his hand, giving the pot to McDermott.

Kevin Song Eliminated in 9th Place ($24,001)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Kevin Song
Kevin Song

David Yonnotti opened from late position for 125,000. Kevin Song put in a raise to 375,000 before Yonnotti moved all in. Song thought for a few moments before making the call as the player at risk.

Kevin Song: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
David Yonnotti: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

"Best hand I've had," Song remarked, clearly frustrated at how far behind he was. The {j-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop saw Song pick up more outs with a gutshot straight draw, but the {a-Spades} turn and {j-Diamonds} river provided no help to Song, instead giving Yonnotti a full house.

Song was sent to the rail in 9th place, for a cash of $24,001. As Song was the only player at the final table to have a previous WSOP bracelet, his elimination guarantees that a first-time bracelet winner will be crowned at the end of the day.

Derek Sudell Eliminated in 10th Place ($19,253)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Derek Sudell
Derek Sudell

Kevin Song opened from under the gun to 80,000. From middle position, David Dowdy three-bet to 275,000. Over to Derek Sudell, who began to think as he counted his chips. After about a minute, he moved all in for about 1,700,000. Song folded and Dowdy called immediately.

David Dowdy: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Derek Sudell: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop increased Sudell's chances greatly when the {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} came out, giving him a spade flush draw. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and the river was the {j-Clubs}, both black, but neither was the fourth spade Sudell was looking for.

Sudell was eliminated and Dowdy took a commanding chip lead.

"Did you like that runout, black-black?" asked a tablemate.

"I think we all liked that runout," said another. Each elimination comes with a pay jump at this point in the tournament.

"It took me a minute to process that it didn't hit," said Dowdy.
