Here Come the Eliminations!

[user75032]

It's a pretty standard feature of poker tournaments. Play tightens up and slows down as the money bubble approaches, with the short stacks fighting to squeak into the cash. Then as soon as the bubble bursts, they start flinging their chips around with reckless abandon.

We already have our first two eliminations. Adrienne Rowsome was eliminated by Ben Gold in 45th place. That's Rowsome's third (and final) update on PokerNews for the day.

Paul Darden was crippled and all in for 1,000 preflop. He was taken care of by Patrice Boudet, who turned a full house with a pair of threes in his hand. Darden finished in 44th place.

Rowsome and Darden will each be paid $4,749.
