Katie Stone Eliminated in 9th Place ($13,212)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Katie Stone
Katie Stone

Katie Stone opened for 275,000 and got called by both blinds.

On the flop of {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Soukha Kachittavong (sb) checked, Eric Hayes (bb) bet 355,000, then Stone raised to one million straight.

Kachittavong check-raised all-in, Hayes folded, and Stone tanked for a minute or so, then called all-in.

Her {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} had been out-flopped by his {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. The last two came {4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and changed nothing. Kachittavong took the pot and the chip lead with more than 10 million.

Stone was eliminated in 9th place, earning $13,212.

Gilberto Taveras-Garcia

On the last hand before break, all the chips went in on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Gilberto Taveras-Garcia's {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} had hit middle pair with a flush draw, but was trailing Soukha Kachittavong's {k-Clubs}{10-Spades} (top pair).

Markus Alim doubled up through Bin Weng when his KQ offsuit held against 87 suited.

Then Victor Ramdin opened from the button and Alim three-bet from the big blind. Ramdin called to see the flop fall {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

Alim led for 305,000 and Ramdin jammed. Alim snapped, showing {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the nut flush draw. Ramdin was ahead with {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for two pair, but the {8-Diamonds} on the turn completed the flush for Alim.

He was celebrating another double up, but then the {10-Spades} completed the board, giving Ramdin a full house and the pot.

Markus Alim was eliminated in 11th place, earning $8,733.
