"BlckJck" had called correctly and the flop came to all but lock up the knockout. Needing to fade only running threes or kings, the turn left "IvanBlock" drawing dead and the river completed the runout to result in their elimination from the tournament as the pot was sent to "BlckJck."

Moments earlier, Ryan “simlSgg” Hagerty was also eliminated. The two players each received $364 for their efforts and 12 players now remain, all of whom will earn at least $423.

Duties include mainly playing a lot online, promoting the site, and trying to get new players on the site.”
