During the Omaha eight-or-better round, Lonnie Heimowitz got it all in pre-flop with A
Q
76
against Victor Ramdin’s JJ43. The flop came AKQ, giving two pair to Heimowitz and a flush draw to Ramdin. The 10
on the turn was a blank for Ramdin, but the 5 on the river completed his flush. Heimowitz was eliminated in 10th place, earning $22,031 for his efforts.
Final Table Bubble Played Nine-Handed
As the players sweat the bubble for the final table, the remaining nine players will be combining into one nine-handed table. When another player has been eliminated, the remaining eight final tablists will take a one hour dinner break.
Edward Brogdon Eliminated in 9th Place ($22,031)
Not long after combining into one nine-handed table, Edward Brogdon became the final table bubble boy after being eliminated by current chip leader Tommy Hang. Brogdon and Hang got it all in pre-flop, with 106 for Hang and 77 for Brogdon. The final board read KQ432, and Brogdon earned $22,031 for his “unlucky” 9th place finish.
