O'Donnell spent nearly two minutes in the tank before finally making the call. Rast tabled 8♥8♦ which was no good against the A♠10♦ of O'Donnell.

Michael Jozoff Eliminated in 9th Place ($121,275)

Nível 21 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Frank Funaro raised to 320,000 from the hijack and in the big blind, Michael Jozoff defended.

The flop came out 9♥Q♦4♣ and Jozoff check called a bet of 200,000 from Funaro.

Jozoff checked once more on the 3♣ turn that saw Funaro bet once more, this time to the tune of 700,000 and once more Jozoff called.

On the 10♦ river, Jozoff checked a third time over to Funaro who moved all in for 2,240,000 which covered Jozoff. Jozoff took off his sunglasses as he put in a time extension and pondered his decision. After some thought he put his chips in the middle and the cards were turned on their backs.

Michael Jozoff: Q♥J♠
Frank Funaro: A♣A♦

Jozoff's pair of queens was no good against the pair of aces in Funaro's hand and Jozoff became the first casualty of the final table.

Elias Finds a Double Up

[user339872]

Nível 22 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The action folded to Frank Funaro in the cutoff who ripped all in with three shorter stacks behind him. Darren Elias woke up with a hand on the button and called off his stack of 1,825,000. The blinds folded and the two hands were tabled.

Darren Elias: A♣Q♦
