Manny Manaya Busts in 9th ($62,350)
Short on chips, Manny Minaya pushed his last 191,000 to the middle of the table and Jeff Williams called from the button.
Minaya showed A8 and looked to be in trouble against Williams’ A10. The flop came A2K, pairing both players, but Williams’ 10 still factored in as better kicker.
The turn came 10, giving Williams two pair and leaving Minaya drawing thin to a chopped pot. But the river was the J and Minaya was the first elimination from the final table, taking home $62,350. Williams had around 2 million after the hand.
DeWitt Soars to Chip Lead
On a flop of A52 Peter Gilmore bet 110,000 and Jason DeWitt check-raised to 260,000. Gilmore moved all in and DeWitt called, with Gilmore covering DeWitt in chips.
