Two big hands spelled doom for former November Niner while Martin Culotta extended his lead.

The first hand saw Blumenfield open to 575,000 from the hijack to get calls from Culotta in the small blind and Ben Sriqui in the big. All three checked the flop and the blinds checked the turn.

Blumenfield bet 700,000 and picked up two more calls before the river. They checked it down and Culotta tabled aces up to get mucks from his opponents.

On the next hand, Blumenfield opened to 550,000 and Ruslan Dykshteyn raised to 1,575,000 from the hijack. The rest of the table released and Blumenfield moved all-in for ~3,000,000 to get a quick call from Dykshteyn with the bigger stack.

Blumenfield needed to catch a live card to stay in the game but never found a sweat as the dealer spread to send him to the rail in ninth place.

Martin Culotta – 16,500,000 (66 bb)
Ruslan Dykshteyn – 8,750,000 (35 bb)
Neil Blumenfield – Eliminated in 8th place ($13,049)
