Posted 2012-06-03 GMT-6

Daniel Ratigan

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!

Dutch Boyd Eliminated in 17th Place ($9,712)

Posted 2012-06-03 GMT-6

Dutch Boyd

We just lost one of our three remaining bracelet winners, Dutch Boyd. We caught the action on the flop which read and Boyd saw his 10,000 bet got raised and he made the call. The turn was the and Boyd checked to Mascio who fired out 20,000. Boyd tanked for a bit before sticking in his final chips and Mascio made the call.

Boyd showed and was up against . Mascio had already made broadway and with no low possibilities Boyd was looking for a king or a queen to hit a full house or chop the pot with the same straight if a ten hit the river. The two time WSOP champion als had a flush draw to add to his outs but the river was the giving just a slightly improved hand, but he was not able to beat Mascio's straight. Boyd goes home in 17th place.
