Duff Charette

Duff Charette’s valiant run came to an end moments ago in 11th place. Earlier in the day — prior to the money bubble — he was down to less than two big blinds. From there, he found a way to grind out an 11th-place finish and $14,890 score.

Stay tuned for the 10-handed final table lineup.

Greaves: KdTc

Runout: Ts9h8d5sAd

Greaves took the lead with a 10 on the flop, but the river ace spelled the end. He was eliminated in 13th place.

Nashaat Antonious

Nashaat Antonious was under the gun and down to only 55,000. He put it in the middle and it folded to Michael McCarthy on the button. He raised to 110,000 and Duff Charette came along from the big blind. Antonious was at risk while McCarthy and Charette played it out for 110,000-chip side pot.

Flop: 8d5h2s – Charette checked. McCarthy C-bet 125,000. Charette folded. Antonious was at risk against McCarthy.

“I think you doubled up,” McCarthy laughed turning over Td9c for only 10-high.

Antonious had Ts5s and was ahead with a pair.

Turn and river: 9s9h

McCarthy hit a pair on the turn and trips on the river to take the lead and eliminate Antonious in 14th place. The elimination comes about eighth hours after Antonious burst the money bubble spiking an ace on the river and eliminating Sean Hampson in dramatic fashion.

Anderkin: 9h7c
