Donald Fales Eliminated 5th ($8,320)
Donald Fales
After Kevin Conroy limped in from under the gun, Dan Voccia raised to 60,000. Donald Fales moved all in for 195,000 and Conroy made the call. Voccia thought for a moment before mucking his hand, stating he had pocket sevens. Fales did not like hearing that, as he turned over [7d][7s]. Conroy flipped up [Kc][Kh] and was way ahead. The board of [Ah][Tc][2d][3s][Jd] did not improve Fales' hand and he was eliminated in 5th place for $8,320.
Larry Martone Eliminated 6th ($6,760)
Larry Martone
Larry Martone moved all in with [Ah][Qs] and was called by Kevin Conroy holding [6c][6h]. The flop came [Qh][Jd][7h] and Martone took the lead with a pair of queens. The [2d] on the turn was no help to Conroy but the [6s] on the river gave him a set and the pot.
Larry Martone was eliminated in 6th place for $6,760.
Ismel Carrasco Eliminated 7th ($5,646)
Tracy Sparmer Eliminated 8th ($4,606)
Gilbert Bortone Eliminated 9th ($3,877)
Donald Hamshaw Eliminated 10th ($2,822)
Donald Hamshaw
Christopher Griffin raised to 62,000 before the flop and Donald Hamshaw reraised to 124,000. Griffin made the call and they saw a flop of [8h][7s][3d]. Hamshaw moved all in and Griffin immediately made the call. Hamshaw turned up [Ad][Ks] but Griffin showed [7c][7h] for a set. The turn was the [Ts] and the river came the [6d].
Donald Hamshaw was eliminated from the tournament in 10th place for $2,822.
