Vayo and Wiedemann Chop 72nd-Place Money
It doesn't happen too often, but it did in this case �� both Gordon Vayo and Barry Wiedemann were elimination on the same hand during hand-for-hand play and will chop up the $2,432 that would be awarded to 72nd place. Each will take home $1,216, so it was a total loss for them here in Event 5.
Vayo was all in preflop with the against Clayton Mozdzen's on the bubble. Vayo was all in for 11,000. The flop came down and Mozdzen took the lead with two pair, kings and tens. The on the turn gave Vayo a Broadway straight, but the on the river filled Mozdzen up and sent Vayo out the door in 73rd place.
On another table, Wiedemann was all in preflop with the versus an opponent's pocket eights. The flop, turn and river ran out and Wiedemann was eliminated.
With those eliminations, the remaining 71 players are now in the money. Play has stopped for the night with 41:53 left on the clock in Level 11 and that's where things will resume tomorrow at 1:00 PM. We'll have a recap coming shortly, so stay tuned.
