Peck Eliminated by Dea
The field has been reduced to 54 and Andrew Dea was on the first table to break. As he was racking up his chips, he provided a recap of a recently-played hand that proved to be Austin Peck's last of the tournament.
Robert Stocklmeier limped in from early position and action folded around to Austin Peck in the small blind, who completed. Andrea Dea checked his option and the flop came 
. Peck went all in for 27,000 and both Dea and Stocklmeier called.
With Peck having an opportunity at a triple, Dea and Stocklmeier were now proceeding with any future action going into a side pot. The turn came 
and Dea went all in for his last 32,000. Stocklmeier called.
Austin Peck: 
Andrea Dea: 
Robert Stocklmeier: 
Dea now found himself in prime position to earn more than a double with his nines up. He had one card left to fade Peck's straight draw and Stocklmeier's nut flush draw. The river fell clean, coming 
to win both pots and send Peck home during the first level of the day.
