8th $ 1,000.00 - Ben Kleman
9th $800.00 - Glenn Resch
10th $600.00 - Jeff Maynard


1:30 PM - Our first victim is Jeff Maynard in first position who pushes all in with 165,000. All folds except for Davison in the 4th seat calls. Jeff shows A - K and finds out he is up against A - A from Davison Oliveire. Board runs out 9 K 3 8 4 to send home Jeff in 10th place for $600.00.

2:00 PM - Our second victim, Glenn Resch in seat 9 started chipping down dangerously low to 85K. With 10 - 9 he took an opportunity to try and push from middle position pre-flop. Unfortunately, out of the blinds, Paul Swanson in seat 1 looked down and 9 - 9 and called Glenn's 5x all in. The board ran out J - 5 - 2 - A - K sending Glenn home early with a $800.00 cash.

2:53 PM -  Davison raises to 75,000 with 8-8 from UTG+2, Ben Kleman pushes all in with A-K for 175,000.  Davison calls the additional 100K.  Board ran out J-10- 6- 7-4.

3:14 - Paul doubles through OZ.  OZ in seat 5 bet 85K UTG, Paul pushes all in for 205K.  OZ calls for the extra 120K with K-Q and Swanson has A-K.  Board ran out 9 - 6 - 3 - A - 2.

3:27 PM - Davison UTG bets 106,000.  OZ next to act goes all in for 102,000, Cissy then also goes all in for 148,000.  Davison has Q - Q, OZ has A - 10, and Cissy has 10 - 10.  Board read A - K - J - K - 10.  Cissy wins entire pot with the rivered full house knocking our OZ and tripling up.  Oz receives $1250 for his 7th place finish.

3:41 PM - Tracy McCree eliminated in 6th place by running into Cowboys.  Un-raised pot goes to Tracy with the button who goes all in for 165K.  Sean in the small blind calls with K - K.  Tracy shows 9 - 7.  Board runs out J - 6 - 5 - 2 - 2. 

Cissy Spardello falls victim to ducks.  Shawn pushes all in from the button with 2 - 2 with 140K.  Cissy then calls from the button with Ah-Kh with the extra 60K she had remaining.  The rest of the table folds to put the two heads up and Cissy at risk.  The board runs out with two hearts but no Ace or King and Cissy is our 5th place finisher for $1750.00.

5:25 PM -  Pre-flop battle of the blinds send Paul to the cage.  Joe Venuti raises all in from the small blind.  Big Blind calls the all in with 205K.  Joe flips A - K and Paul shows A - 4.  The board ran out Q - J - Q - 10 - 2.  Joe's AK high wins and Paul heads home with $2,250.00.

5:53 PM - After being crippled by the dreaded river Queen by his fellow Lowell player Sean in an AK (joe) vs. AQ (sean) battle from a previous hand Joe was forced to go all-in without looking.  Small Blind calls the remaining 85K from Joe.  Davison has K - 10 and Joe has live cards with 7 - 4.  Board ran out 6 8 K 3 10 sending Joe home in third place for $3,000.

~ HEADS UP BATTLE BEGINS AFTER THE BREAK ~

Shawn McNeil up against a 2 to 1 deficit against Davison Oliveira put up a solid fight for about 90 minutes of back and forth action.  Then at 8:00 PM Shawn Pushes all in for 415,000 to a snap call from Davison.  Shawn shows A - 7 to find out he is up against K - K.  Flop runs out Q - 3 - Q putting Shawn in tough shape.  The K on the turn puts him drawing dead and a meaningless 9 on the river to make Davison Oliveira our next Champion and earning himself $9,000.00 while Shawn heads home with a very respectable $5,000.00 for his efforts as well.

FINAL TABLE IS SET FOR THE 30K CHAMPIONSHIP

UPDATES:
12:30 PM - Table 1: We already have our first knock-out of the tournament. Jerry Beasoleil from Lowell is taken out in the first 2 minutes by Sissy Spardello. Jerri with Ac - Kc hits a royal straight flush to Jerry's 9d- 9c Straight Flush!

1:00 PM - Table 1: Shawn Maille from Lowell, our last season second place finisher also knocked out, he raised with 4h 7h. An attempt at a 3 barrel bluff went wrong as he was up against A-A.

GLENN RESCH - FRAMINGHAM
CURTIS MCCANTS - RI

JEFF MAYNHARD - RI
JAY BOLTON - S.MA
JOE VENUTI - LOWELL
DAVISON OLIVEIRA - FRAMINGHAM

3:34 PM - We just lost our favorite to win it from the Facebook Poll... Tim Hill was eliminated when his K - Q went up against Sissy's pocket fives. Tim pushed all in preflop with around 40K with a call from Sissy with 5 - 5... Flop came out with a K and a 5 to give Tim top pair and Sissy a set. The turn was another King but Sissy's set still held up to Tim's trip K's. Great work Tim, hope to see you next season!

4:15 PM - Our next player out was Brian Fraser from Lowell.

5:00 PM - Curtis raised All-In from UTG with A - 3 with about 40K. James called with K-Q with only 24,000 left. Curtis hit an A on the river to send JJ Poirier home in 22nd place.

5:15 PM - With an un-raised pot pre-flop, Andy Kurzontkowski pushed all in with 24,000 from the button with J - 4. Shaun McNeil called from the sb and George Landry also called after limping pre-flop. Board ran out Q - 8 - 9, Shaun checked after the flop and George pushes all in. Shaun folds and now Andy's jack-high and inside straight draw is up against a set of 8's. A queen on the turn sends Andy home in 21st place.

5:30 PM - Jay Bolton Raised to 18,000, Tim Wright was next to act and went over the top all in. Jay called with Jd - 8h and Tim had Ac - 10h. Board ran out K K 8 3 5. Jay's two pair sent Tim home in 19th place for $200.00

6:15 PM - Our next casualty of the evening has exited the tournament in 18th place. Jay Bolton raised from the button all in with A - 4 offsuit. Davison calls him in the big blind with Q - Q. Board ran out K - 2 - 8 - J - J and Jay could not improve sending him home with $200.00.

6:30 PM - Stephen Dugas, our Battle of Champion qualifier, knocked out in 17th place. Steve pushes all-in from UTG +3 and Joe Venuti called from the Big Blind for Stephen's remaining stack of around 11,500. Steve show's A - 8 versus Joe's J - 2. Board runs out K Q 4 9 and river is a 10 to give Joe the straight and send Stephen home in 17th place.
