Big Hands and Storylines:
John O'Brien Run into Aces (Eliminated in 13th Place - $11,771)
John O'Brien moved all in after the flop and quickly discovered some bad news. He was called down by Brendan Taylor, who was currently the proud owner of pocket aces. O'Brien was dominated with A-K and no help came on the turn and river. He was eliminated on the hand in 13th place, and took home $11,771 in prize money.
Steve Shkolnik Crippled and then Eliminated in 12th Place ($14,774)
Steve Shkolnik ran into some terrible, no good, very bad news when Jimmy Shultz turned up K
Q on a board of K
7
483. Shkolnik mucked his hand and was so crippled that the big blind took almost his entire stack to call. He got the rest of his chiips into the middle with 6-4 and Lindgren called him with pocket tens. The tens held for E-Dog and Shkolnik was eliminated in 12th place. He took home $14,774 in prize money.
Taylor Strikes Again (Zach Henderson Eliminated in 11th Place - $14,774)
Taylor went to work and busted another player shortly thereafter. This time he held pocket jacks to do his bidding, which were more than enough to eliminate Zach Henderson on a board of 106359
. Henderson was eliminated in 11th place, and he took home $14,744 in prize money.
