Event 20: 16th-18th Places ($444)

$250 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 17: 2,000/4,000/500 Ante

We’ve lost three players already with the most recent being Tracey Gelb after she moved all in over the top of Kenny Bhakta’s opener for her last 35,000 in chips. Bhakta had AxAx and made the easy call and Gelb needed help with her Kh8h. She would flop a king and turn a flush draw but the river would make Bhakta aces full of fives to give him the pot. Here are the 16th-18th place finishers, each received $444.

16th – Tracey Gelb
17th – Mario Ratto
18th – Tammy Haney

Championship Day 4: Sean Shah – 7th Place ($168,550)

$3,500 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship
Level 30: 50,000/100,000/15,000 Ante

Griffin Paul opened for 200,000 and Sean Shah moved all in for approximately 750,000. It was folded back to Paul who made the call. Shah was in great shape to double up as his AcTd had Paul’s KsTs dominated but the flop came Kh9h2d to give Paul a pair of kings. That pair would hold up when the turn came the 9s and the river was the 2c.

Shah is eliminated in seventh place for $168,550 and we have our final six. We’ll have updated chip counts momentarily.
