Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Jared Talarico
Jared Talarico

Frank Kassela completed and Jared Talarico raised to 24,000. Kassela made it 36,000 and Talarico called all in for his final 30,000.

With Talarico at risk, each player's boards ran out as follows:

Kassela: {4-}{2-} / {5-}{3-}{J-}{10-} / {9-}
Talarico: {A-}{4-} / {2-}{6-}{2-}{10-} / {K-}

With Kassela improving his ten-low to a nine-low on seventh street, Talarico would be unable to find a card to surge ahead as he was eliminated in 22nd place.
