Ben Bracken Eliminated in 10th Place ($728)

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Bracken opened to 25,000 from under the gun and got four callers, including John Stempien in middle position. The flop rolled out {6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Bracken fired 70,000. Stempien moved all in, the others got out of the way, and Ben called.

"If you have a set you win," Bracken said. But Stempien only had a draw — albeit a massive one.

Bracken: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Stempien: {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The {J-Spades} on the turn gave Stempien even more outs with a pair, and the {7-Hearts} on the river paired Stempien again to send Ben B to the rail in 10th place.
