Thorne Takes Out Bevard

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Larry Bevard shoved all in for his last 48,000. Shane Thorne was the next player to act and shoved all in as well for 64,000. Everyone else folded leaving Bevard and Thorne heads up.

Bevard held {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Thorne, {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. When the flop came {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, Bevard fist pumped his pair. But the tables turned when the {q-Spades} hit and Thorne was the one cheering.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and no help for Bevard who was eliminated.

Joseph Leibman Eliminated By Jason Mirza

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jason Mirza just eliminated Joseph Leibman and was offered a bounty of a different sort.

Mirza opened for 10,500 and Leibman shoved for his last 43,500. There seemed to be some tough decisions by the remaining players, who tanked for a little before letting their hands go.

Mirza asked for a count and when he confirmed the number he called.

"It's a loose call, but I call," said Mirza as he turned over {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Leibman was in the lead with {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}. The board ran out in Mirza's favor when it came {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades} and gave him trips on the river.

"Do you want my fruit plate?" said Leibman as he collected his things.

Mirza laughed and said, "you're a gracious loser sir." In regards to the fruit plate, Mirza said, "actually I would pay for that."

"If we run it twice you can have my fruit plate," Leibman said just before heading to the rail.
