Just the final table came together, it has lost its first two casualties and Derek Martin eliminated both David Staley and Greg Monaldi in the same hand.

Martin flopped a full house and neither player was able to overcome the odds as their short stacks were pushed across the table.

Staley gets ninth place money due to having more chips and Monaldi took 10th.

Worst River Card Sends Patrick Back Across the Border

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

On the river of a {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board, Shannon Farrell bet about half the pot, sliding 10,000 forward. Her heads-up opponent, Mike Patrick, took a moment and raised all in having Farrell covered.

Farrell snap-called and tabled the {q-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a full house. Patrick, slightly stunned, turned over the {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, hitting a gutter ball on the river.

Patrick was forced to send almost all of his stack to Farrell and his last big blind was swept up the next hand.
