There With Be Coal, Santa is Eliminated
Santa is Eliminated by Series Champion Todd Machado:
Minutes before the first break of the day, Santa's stack becomes short. As he looks down at his first card an ace appeared. Santa decides to move all in, players at the table suddenly perk up as the player to his right moves all in. 2014- 10 Year Anniversary Series Champion Todd Machado calls the all in and get's two other callers. Machado shows KQ, p2 shows KJ, p3 shows an ace high nut flush draw. QJ2 on the flop, 10 on the turn gave Santa a broadway draw with his A8. River however was no gift, as Todd Machado's KQ held, eliminating four players and collects Santa's $250 bounty.

Our Champions
Mai Xiong won the Turlock Poker Room 10th Anniversary Series Main Event, earning $37,800 as she defeated Drew Caseri heads-up in a central California battle. The two Merced residents squared off for some 30 hands before Xiong took down the title. Xiong made it through the 126-player field for the win, and had quite the return on her investment, as she won her way into the Main Event via a $125 satellite.
Todd Machado turned four final tables -- including one win -- into the Turlock Poker Room 10th Anniversary Series Champion Title. For his combined finishes, Machado is going to have a banner with his photo displayed inside the poker room as the Series Champion, he walks away -- As Xiong did -- with a trophy, and he earns one free entry into every TPR tournament from Nov. 1, 2014 - Oct. 31, 2015, an estimated $14,000 value.
Xiong Wins Main Event
Mai Xiong 3-bets out on an A55K board to put Drew Caseri all-in, and Caseri makes the call.
Caseri shows A4 for two pair.
Xiong shows A7 for two pair as well.
The river 7, however, gives Xiong a bigger two pair and the Turlock Poker Room 10th Anniversary Main Event title, the trophy and $37,800 for the win.
Xiong started the day 8th out of the 26 Day 2 players with 108,800 in chips. She methodically moved through the field, coming to the final table with a 357,000 stack. Once play was 3-handed she had Caseri and Sean Drake covered, and shortly thereafter was heads-up for the title.

Sean Drake - 3rd Place
Sean Drake has moved all in and Mai Xiong is seriously considering making the call, stacking up chips, counting them out, shuffling more than 100,000-worth in her hands and asking ...
"Do you want me to call," and Drake does not reply. The bet is for 391,000.
"I guess I am going to gamble with you," she says and she turns over 6♠6♦, finding herself facing the A♦5♦ of Drake.
The flop of Q♥Q♦2♦ gives Drake a flush draw.
The 4♠ adds a wheel draw.
The 2♠ on the river ends it and Drake is eliminated in 3rd place, while Xiong moves to close to 2 million in chips.
Drake -- 3rd in the 2014 WSOP Monster Stack for $619,000 - cashes here today for $15,120.

Brandi Boehme - 7th Place
A short-stacked Brandi Boehme has moved all-in a few times this level and did not draw a call. She gets a bit healthier for a few hands, but then the 23,000-chips-per-orbit knocks her back down.
She moves all in this time and gets a call from Scotty Nguyen.
a WOW goes up as the flop is 9-2-5 for a set for Boehme.
The 3 on the turn has everyone on the rail starting to step back, but there is a J on the river, set over set and Boehme is eliminated in 7th place, cashing for $5,670.

Massive Pot to Drake
We pick up the action on a flop of 5♠2♥3♣ and both Sean Drake and Paul Da Silva going at it.
Drake eventually is all in and Da Silva works and works but can't convince himself Drake has a hand and calls with KJ.
Drake has A♥A♠ and is in shape to double up.
The board runs out 3♠3♥ and Drake gets 184,000 of Da Silva's chips over into his stack, moving him back to almost what he started the final table with.

Steve Silva - 8th Place
Steve Silva moves all in after Sean Drake leads out for 17,000 with blinds at 400/8000. Drake asks for a count and learns Silva has 96,000, slightly less than half of Drake's stack.
Drake makes the call and tables JQ and Silva let out a small groan as he showes33 and chuckles.
The flop is 9♦J♦2♦ giving both players a flush draw, but Drake's Q is bigger than Silva's 3 so Silva needs a LOT of help.
An Ace on the turn does not help and the river iss a blank. Silva is eliminated in 8th place, cashing for $4,410.
