Isaac Baron Eliminated in 10th Place ($32,330)

Isaac Baron - 10th Place
Isaac Baron - 10th Place
Isaac Baron's reprieve was short-lived. Just a few hands after moving all in, Baron was at it again. He opened for 70,000, then called all in after Richard Austin re-raised pot to 240,000. Austin showed {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {9-Clubs} {6-Spades}; Baron tabled {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}.

The {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {4-Hearts} flop brought lots of excitement, as it made a set of kings for Austin and a combination flush and wrap draw for Baron. Baron needed any ace, any jack, any ten, any nine or any heart to take the lead in the hand. He missed with the {8-Diamonds} turn and was eliminated when the {Q-Clubs} on the river paired the board.

With the stacks counted down, Austin had Baron covered by just 17,000. As a result, Baron is out in 10th place with $32,330 in prize money.

First Pot to Josephy

The players are once again playing small ball today. As an example, it was blind versus blind in the first hand at the feature table. The limped pot was checked on the flop. Cliff Josephy took the pot down on the turn with a small bet.

Jeppe Nielsen Eliminated in 11th Place ($32,330)

Jeppe Nielsen - 11th Place
Jeppe Nielsen - 11th Place
Jeppe Nielsen raised pot to 70,000 from the cut off. Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy is in the small blind and eyes up the short stack of Nielsen, then looks to his left to see how many chips Isaac Baron has in the big blind.

After a few moments Bax grabbed two stacks of orange chips and slid out a 200,000 raise. Baron folded his big blind and Nielsen called all in for his tournament life.

Nielsen: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Spades}
Josephy: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

The board came {10-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {5-Spades} {9-Clubs} giving Josephy aces up and the pot. He eliminates Nielsen in 11th place.
