Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Benjamin Dobson -- 14th Place
Benjamin Dobson -- 14th Place

Benjamin Dobson has been eliminated in 14th place, and took home $20,504, but first let's tell you about a hand right before his elimination.

Action folded to Hiren "Sunny" Patel on the button. He raised to 32,000. Blake Bohn called from the small blind, and Patrick Kubat called from the big blind. On the {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop, all three players checked before the {5-Hearts} paired the board on the turn. After Bohn checked, Kubat bet 40,000, and Patel made the call. Bohn folded. Then, the {K-Spades} completed the board on the river, and both players checked. Kubat showed the {A-Spades}{9-Spades} for two pair, nines and fives, and Patel mucked his hand.

On the next hand, Benjamin Dobson raised all in from under the gun for around 200,000. Kubat re-shoved from the small blind, and everyone else folded. Kubat held the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, which was dominating the {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the at-risk Dobson.

The flop, turn and river ran out {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{A-Clubs}, and Dobson was sent packing in 14th place.

Preflop, Jonathan Taylor made a raise to 32,000. He found resistance from Sunny Patel in the big blind.

On the flop of {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, both players checked. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and this time Patel made a bet of 42,000. Taylor thought briefly, then made the call.

The dealer burned and put down the {9-Clubs} river. After thinking about it momentarily, Patel made a bet of 96,000.

Taylor went into the tank for nearly two minutes. "How much is it?" he asked, pointing to Patel's bet. Finally he made the call, but mucked when Patel showed {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flopped flush.
