Drew "maniacalmonk" O'Connell Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,865)

On blinds of 80,000/160,000, Drew "maniacalmonk" O'Connell saw action fold to him on the cutoff and he elected to shove his 1,991,522 stack into the pot. Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier jammed over the top on the button and everyone else folded, leaving a showdown between the two.

Drew "maniacalmonk" O'Connell: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The classic race saw Sherrier take a commanding lead when a {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop landed on the virtual felt, giving him a pair of queens to take the lead. An {a-Spades} river left O'Connell in need of a seven to stay alive but the {9-Hearts} river was not it and he was sent out the door, sending all the chips to Sherrier.

Vanauken Leaves "Wigler13" with Crumbs

On blinds of 70,000/140,000, "Wigler13" shoved 1,227,047 from under the gun and Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken called for less, putting his 952,395 stack into the middle.

Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
"Wigler13": {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The flop came down {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, smashing "Wigler13" with a set of snowmen but their lead was short-lived as a {4-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Vanauken then had a flush. The {q-Spades} river secured the pot for Vanauken for a complete double, leaving "Wigler13" short.

Drew "maniacalmonk" O'Connell: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The pocket aces of O'Connell were well in front and after an {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop it was all but lost for Lopez. The {k-Diamonds} turn sealed the deal for O'Connell who had Lopez drawing dead to the {10-Hearts} river card, pulling in the chip lead pot.

"chen718": {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The board came down {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Vanauken took down the pot for a much-needed double thanks to his flopped ace.
