Kevin Kent Eliminated in 22nd Place ($10,277)

Livello 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Kevin Kent and Stephen Nahm were heads-up through the 10♥7♣5♦ flop, with the 4♥ turn producing a bet from Kent to 225,000 and Nahm raising the pot to 1,155,000.

Kent called to the J♠ river, where Nahm immediately moved all in. Kent took some time before deciding to make the call for his tournament life.

Kevin Kent: 10♠9♥7♥5♠
Stephen Nahm: Q♥10♠10♣8♣

Kent's two pair were no good, missing his flush draw to finish in 22nd place.

Ido Aboudi Eliminated in 23rd ($10,277); Jason Riesenberg Eliminated in 24th Place ($8,433)

Livello 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jason Riesenberg was particularly short in chips, as Ido Aboudi had just doubled through him in the hand prior.

Riesenberg commited himself with a raise in early position and he was faced with a reraise from Ido Aboudi, who was on the button. Thomas Taylor then joined the fray by potting it in the blind. Riesenberg didn't have much of a choice and Aboudi put his remaining chips in play as well.

Jason Riesenberg: A♠Q♠9♣8♥
Ido Aboudi: A♣A♥5♣5♥
Thomas Taylor: K♦K♥6♠7♦

The board was a sweat for Riesenberg as it spread the 7♣Q♥6♥, giving him top pair and a straight draw, Taylor also flopped two pair to pull ahead of the aces. The J♥ on the turn pulled Aboudi back ahead as he made his flush. The river, however, brought the 6♣, making a boat for Taylor and a stunned Riesenberg made his way to the payouts, followed shortly by an equally stunned Aboudi.

A Look Inside Phil Hellmuth's WSOP Break Room: How Does He Fit on that Couch?

Livello 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

When you hold the record for the most World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, there are perks.

For Phil Hellmuth, whose 16 bracelets (and counting) may never be touched, one of those perks is his own personal break room at Horseshoe Las Vegas. That's a nice benefit especially on 90-minute dinner breaks.

Hellmuth granted PokerNews access to his small but intimate break room, which is in an undisclosed location. "Don't disclose the location. I don't need fans knocking on the door seeking autographs while I'm trying to rest," the Poker Hall of Famer joked.

Double Knock Out For England

Livello 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jordan Spurlin had played two hands the orbit prior to this other hand taking place, neither went to show down, and he chipped down quite a bit in the process. Sung Bin Ma was also nursing a short stack when this next hand unfolded.

Spurlin reraised from the small blind, Ma got it in as well, and Jonathan England was thrilled to get his chips in the middle as he covered both.

Jordan Spurlin: A♦K♥K♦3♣
Sung Bin Ma: 10♦10♠5♦6♥
Jonathan England: A♥A♠5♣4♠

The board peeled Q♣8♣6♦, a favorable board for England. The 7♠ on the turn did give Ma an open ended straight draw, but the Q♥ on the river secured a pot of about a million for England, who has been more than enthusiastic about his experience in this tournament thus far. He celebrated winning the pot and quickly apologized to his opponents, explaining he was just excited that he won, not that they lost.

Sun's Run is Over

Livello 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A short stacked Chenyu Sun was all in and when it got to Hyndi Khomutetsky in late position, she went ahead and potted it to 525,000. Michael Dentale was in the big blind and had already clocked her for aces on multiple times in the past hour. He reluctantly folded and the other two players turned their hands up.

Chenyu Sun: Q♥Q♠10♣9♥
Hyndi Khomutetsky: A♠A♣8♠6♥

The board ran out, J♠4♥6♣J♥ and an exasperated Dentale made it clear he would be winning the hand. In the same moment, Khomutetsky said, "No heart!" and her wish was granted with the 5♦. She paid no attention to the ramblings of Dentale.
