Michael Ahrens (Springfield, NJ)
7th Place - $1,295

$300 + 40 Seniors NL Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Mike Makaryan
8th Place - $1,036
Mike Makaryan found himself blinded down to 10,000 (less than two big blinds), and finally decided to get it in from middle position. Things looked promising as it folded around, but once Steve Gill announced all-in from the button, the feeling was Gill had a big hand. Sure enough Steve would table K K against the A 6 of Makaryan. Makaryan would flop a wheel draw, giving him four more outs, but could not find any help at all.
Event 8: 9th Place - Eldridge ($777)
$300 + 40 Seniors NL Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Frank Eldridge
9th Place - $777
Frank opened the pot for a raise to 20,000, and the action folded around to Arthur Bressler on the button. Arthur took a moment before announcing a raise to 48,000, and the action would subsequently fold back to Eldridge. Frank pushed the rest of his chips in the middle, amounting another 60,000 for Arthur to call, and call is what he did:
Bressler: Q Q Eldridge: 10 10
Flop: 5 6 8
Turn: 5
River: Q
Arthur would have the best hand going on, and never relinquish the lead. He becomes the overwhelming chip leader after that hand, the only player at the table over 200,000 (Bressler holds 260,000).
