The chips are flying here and the eliminations are happening fast. We've had four players eliminated in the past ten minutes and we were able to witness one of them.
Suzanne Cooley opened for a raise pre-flop and Heather Alcorn put in a three-bet. Cooley moved all in and Alcorn made the call. Cooley held against Alcorn's but Alcorn would flop a set when it came and would send Cooley to the rail when the turn and river came .
Alcorn would then lose the majority of her stack a few minutes later to Terry Presley when both players flopped a set but Presley's set of nines was better than Alcorn's set of sevens.
Chase Fitzgerald was eliminated in 28th place for $1,417. Ross Bybee was the 27th place finisher for $1,700. Cooley finished in 26th for $1,700 and Jerry Kahl was the 25th place finisher, also for $1,700.
Randy Fikki and his short-stack got the last of his chips in from the small blind holding after the player on the button had opened. Unfortunately for Fikki his opponent had a hand, the best hand possible actually as he had .
The board would run out and Fikki would be eliminated in 29th place for $1,417.
Mark Martin was eliminated when he ran into and was unable to improve. The defending champion of this event had survived with a short stack for most of the day but his luck finally ran out.
John Griffin had a short stack but thought he hit the dream flop with his when the flop came giving him a set of fives. Unfortunately for him, his opponent had flopped a bigger set with and that would be the end of Griffin's tournament.
Both players received $1,417. There are 29 players remaining.
