Colton Thomas Eliminated in 17th Place ($3,903)
In three back-to-back hands, Colton Thomas has been eliminated.
In the first hand, Thomas raised to 200,000 from early position and Richard Morris three-bet all-in. Thomas folded, leaving himself with around 600,000 behind.
In the next hand, Thomas moved all-in from under the gun. Paul Espinoza moved all-in on Thomas' left for 455,000, and Keith Lehr moved all-in for 400,000. Everyone else folded and the hands were turned up.
Lehr - 
Espinoza - 
Thomas - 
The board ran out in Lehr's favor, 
, giving Lehr the main pot while Espinoza picked up a small side pot.
One hand later, Thomas was in the big blind, but put his last 30,000 in the middle along with the 50,000 big blind. Matt Stroud then raised to 200,000 and two players called: Robert Provine on the button and Arthur Collins from the small blind.
The flop came 
. All three players checked.
The 
came on the turn and Collins bet out 100,000. Stroud called and Provine folded.
On the river, the 
hit the felt. Collins stretched his neck and then thought for half a minute before checking. Stroud bet 500,000 and Collins folded.
Stroud tabled 
for two pair--tens and nines--and Thomas, who was all-in dark, turned over 
to play the board.
Thomas went out in 17th place and will take home $3,903 for his performance this weekend.
