Kevin Copec Eliminated in 11th Place ($697)

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Rob Davis doubled once with kings, then again through Kevin Copec when they got it all in on {5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop with Copec holding {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and Davis on a {10-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flush draw.

The flush didn't come on the {8-Diamonds} turn or the {q-Diamonds} river, but Davis did make a pair.

Left with just 20,000, Copec went out with eights running into Ronnie D'Grillo's trip kings the very next hand.

Christopher Trybus made it 12,000, Joseph Elia shoved for 49,500 more and after a short time in the tank Trybus called.

Elia held {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} and Trybus just {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, but Trybus' good run of cards continued with a jack falling on the {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} board to send Elia home 14th.

The Bubble Has Burst

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jim Girdlestone just ran into the machine that Christopher Trybus has become.

He got it in good with queens versus jacks, but Trybus hasn't lost a hand since dinner and spiked a jack on the river to bust Girdlestone on the bubble.

The remaining 15 players are all in the money.
