Eliminations: Al Barbieri (8th Place) Storylines: Al Barbieri took a bad beat against Greg Alston and was forced to get the rest of his chips in on the short stack. Singer busted him and Barbieri was eliminated in eighth place. Jacobo Fernandez has continued to defend his blinds at will and pick up big pot uncontested. With constant pressure, he has put a great deal of distance between himself and second place. Big Hands: Al Barbieri raised in late position and Greg Alston reraised out of the blinds. Barbieri put his opponent all in and Alston reluctantly made the call, showing pocket jacks. Barbieri confirmed his suspicions by turning over pocket queens. Things were looking good on a eight-high flop for Barbieri, but a jack on the turn gave new life to a very happy Alston. Barbieri wasn't exactly feeling the same way and after the hand, sat at just under 50,000. Al Barbieri Can't Catch Up, Eliminated in Eighth Place ($26,764) Al Barbieri got the rest of his stack in with K 6 against David Singer's A Q .

Tehan Takes Some From KingZach King raised to 29,000 under the gun and got a call from Joe Tehan in the blinds. The flop came J 6 5 and King continued with a bet of 37,000. Tehan called and the turn was the 10 . This time around, Tehan bet 45,000 and King thought for a bit before calling. The river was the K and Tehan bet almost enough to put King all in. King thought for a long while, then decided to fold and save his remaining 84,000. Jacobo Fernandez Tops 1 Million in Chips Tehan didn't hold on to his chips for long, after giving roughly roughly 200,000 over to Jacobo Fernandez and his turned full house. This was one of the first hands that Fernandez had shown down, even though he is already up to 1.1 million in chips.
