Took a Licking, No Longer Ticking

Level 9 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Details of the betting escaped us, but it suffices to say Mike McDonald has gone broke.

He was seen getting out of his chair with the {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} in front of him on a {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board. Davidi Kitai held the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and was seen raking in the pot that included the remainder of McDonald's stack.

Tedeschi Straightens Out O'Dwyer

Paul Tedeschi

Steve O'Dwyer fired out a pot sized bet of 42,000 on a {6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board heads up with Paul-Francois Tedeschi.

Tedeschi min-raise shoved and O'Dwyer snap-called with the {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Tedeschi had the {9-Hearts}{7-Spades} straight and it held after a brick-like {2-Spades} river.

Jacobson Busts Jaffee

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jared Jaffee limped in from the small blind with a stack of about 65,000. Martin Jacobson pushed from the big blind and Jaffee made the call.

Jared Jaffee: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Martin Jacobson: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop came {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades}, making Jaffee the heavy favorite. The {Q-Clubs} on the turn was a bad card for him though, and the {K-Clubs} on the river didn't save him either.

Kyle Frey Won't Be Winning this Tournament

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

From first position, Kyle Frey raised to 7,000 and in middle position, Martin Jacobson made the call.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} and Frey checked. Jacobson made a bet of 8,000 and Frey check raised to 26,000 with a total stack of about 80,000. Jacobson shoved all in and Frey called.

Martin Jacobson: {10-Spades}{J-Spades}
Kyle Frey: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {4-Spades} on the turn ended Frey's tournament life, the {10-Hearts} on the river wasn't enough to stay alive. As Frey had already been eliminated once, he no longer has the option to buy back in so he's the first to be officially out without the chance to buy back in.
