Jianxin Wu Eliminated in 18th Place ($10,495)

Livello 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a hand where Jianxin Wu's last 40,000 chips were all-in in the big blind, action folded to Ryan Leng on the button who raised to 80,000. The big blind got out of the way to set up a heads-up runout with Wu at risk.

Jianxin Wu: A♣2♣
Ryan Leng: A♦4♠

The 6♦9♥7♥ flop looked like they were on their way to a chopped pot, but that all changed when Leng spiked the 4♣ on the turn to leave Wu drawing dead headed to the meaningless 8♠ river.

Wu exited the tournament area in 18th place for $10,495.

Timothy Rutherford Eliminated in 20th Place ($10,495)

Livello 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 60,000 only to see Timothy Rutherford three-bet to 175,000. Action folded to Anthony Dianaty who came in for a four-bet to 500,000.

The original raiser folded but Rutherford wasn't so quick to release his hand. After using up two time banks, Rutherford moved all-in only to see a snap-call from Dianaty to put Rutherford at risk and headed to a runout.

Timothy Rutherford: Q♣Q♠
Anthony Dianaty: A♠A♦

The board ran out 5♥4♠J♠8♥7♦, securing a massive pot for Dianaty and sending Rutherford home in 20th place for $10,495.

Over the next few hands, Dianaty would go on a rush and pick up aces three times and kings once in a single orbit to extend his growing chip lead to over 6,000,000.

David Jackson limped the small blind, Aaron Massey jammed the big blind, and Jackson called all in for about 450,000.

David Jackson: A♠A♦
Aaron Massey: 7♠7♦

Girish Reknar Eliminated in 23rd Place ($9,125)

Livello 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Girish Reknar raised to 60,000 from under the gun and got called by Masato Yokosawa on the button and both the blinds before seeing a flop of 9♦J♠2♣.

Both the blinds and Reknar all checked over to Yokosawa who opted to toss out a bet for 150,000. The blinds got out of the way and Reknar entered the tank. After using up two time banks and verifying the bet amount, Reknar eventually decided to check-jam for 325,000 total. Yokosawa made the quick call, setting up a runout with Reknar at risk.

Girish Reknar: 6♣6♥
Masato Yokosawa: K♥Q♥

Reknar was ahead on the flop but had overcards and straight outs to dodge. When the 10♠ jumped out on the turn, Reknar was suddenly drawing dead headed to the A♠ river and finished in 23rd place for $9,125.

Jeremy Pekarek: Q♠Q♦
