We just witnessed two hands that ended Daniel Ratigan's tournament run in 17th place. We caught the first hand on the river when the board read . Ratigan had checked to Bryan Jolly who fired out 24,000 and Ratigan tanked for almost 30 seconds before committing the chips, leaving himself with just 18,000 chips. Jolly showed and Ratigan was visibly disappointed with the hand his opponent showed. After double checking his cards numerous times he threw them into the muck.
The very next hand Ratigan was in the small blind and Tapscott decided to limp for 12,000. Bari and Schwecke called from the cutoff and the button before Ratigan moved all in. Griffin called from the big blind as did the other three players giving us five way action on the flop with one player all in for his tournament life.
The flop came down and Griffin lead out for 12,000. Tapscott and Bari called while Schwecke mucked his hand. The turn was the and Ratigan got up from his seat. Griffin bet 24,000 this time and Tapscott was the only caller. On the river the showed up and Griffin put in another bet. Tapscott tanked for a bit before releasing his hand and Griffin showed for a king-high straight. Ratigan flashed his and made his way out the door. We are down to 16!

Allen Bari is finding the cards, hitting the boards but not holding up against his opponents so far. He just lost two big pots knocking him all the way down to 190,000 chips.
First Wes Self raised to 20,000, Can Kim Hua called from the cutoff and Bari called from the small blind. The flop came down and Bari checked to Self who bet 10,000, Hua called and Bari followed his lead. The turn was the and Bari lead out for 20,000. Both Self and Hua made the call. The river was the and Bari bet another 20,000 and both his opponents made the call. "Wheel and three-six," Bari announced right away stating he had made the nut low and a six high straight.
Bari tabled his and was disgusted to see that Can Kim Hua had rivering a full house to beat Bari's straight but he also had the nut low. Self showed for the same low as the two other players making sure the dealer had his work cut out for him. Hua got half the pot for the high and all three players got their portion of the low pot.
Just a few hands later Bari raised to 20,000 from the cutoff and Tyler Schwecke called from the button. Gavin Griffin called from the big blind giving us three-way action. The flop was and Griffin was the only player to fold to Bari's bet. The turn was the and Bari bet another 20,000, Schwecke called. The river was the and Bari put out 20,000 right away. Schwecke hesitated and then put in a raise to 40,000. Bari snapped him off but had to muck when Schwecke showed for a set of kings.
Bari started the day second in chips but he's in serious trouble right now after losing a couple of very important hands.
Tyler Schwecke | 430,000 | -22,000 |
Wes Self | 390,000 | 121,000 |

Draper raised to 20,000 from the cutoff after which Spanne three-bet from the button to 30,000. Mascio was in the big blind and he made it 40,000.
