John Thomas just lost the remainder of his chips to Michael Banducci after getting all of his money in on a 7-5-5 flop holding K-7; Banducci tabled 5-8 for trip fives. A king fell on the turn, giving Thomas some additional outs to stay alive, but the river blanked out, ending Thomas' tournament run in 10th place, good for a $10,170 payday.
Thomas' elimination ensured a spot at the Bluff Media Final Table for each of the nine remaining competitors, who will return tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 p.m. PST to play down to a winner.
