Elimination Hands:
Senovio Ramirez III Eliminated in 9th Place ($23,520)
Ming Reslock raised in early position and Senovio Ramirez made the call, leaving himself with only 15,000 behind. The flop came KJ5 and Ramirez committed the last of his remaining chips into the pot. Reslock called with the AAJ10, and was in front of Ramirez’s king, eight, six and four. The Q hit the turn and the 9 fell on the river, eliminating Ramirez in 9th place.
Freddy Deeb Eliminated in 8th Place ($27,029)
Freddy Deeb pushed all-in pre-flop and was called by Thang Luu. The two pair of Luu held up against the aces of Freddy Deeb. Deeb was sent home ever so close to his third World Series of Poker bracelet.
Jim Geary Eliminated 7th ($32,404)
Jim Geary went all-in on flop of 84A against Robert Price and Thang Luu. The pot was checked down and Geary showed two pair, aces and eights, but was no good against the flush with the 94 of Price. Luu Mucked and Geary was eliminated in 7th.
