Recent eliminations: Jackson, Perry
Our birthday boy Devon Jackson was eliminated when he was unlucky to pick up pocket queens against his opponent's pocket aces. Jacson's 7th place finish will earn him $1,360.
Next out was Graham Perry from San Jose, CA. Perry's AT failed to hold when his opponent's [8d][6d] rivered a flush. Perry's 6th place finish will earn him $1,840.

Recent eliminations: Chng, Mince, Baza
We actually lost Bay 101 dealer Lenox Baza from San Jose, CA in 12th place in level 8, but we figured there'd be another elimination shortly. How wrong we were. After an hour of play, we finally lost our 11th place finisher, Jeff Mince from Boulder Creek, CA. They both will receive $400 for their efforts.
As this post was being typed up, we lost our 10th place finisher as well. Chaw Teng Chng from San Jose, CA has won $765. The remaining field will play on as a 5-handed and a 4-handed table until the final table of 7 is reached.
