Chris Brewer Eliminated in 16th Place ($6,108)

Livello 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 45,000 ante

Chris Brewer raised to 60,000 from under the gun. Erik Seidel came over the top for 200,000, and Brewer raised to 460,000, leaving 5,000 behind. Brewer drew one and made an eight-seven. Seidel patted his eight-six, and Brewer would be all in on the big blind.

On the next hand Jason Mercier raised to 60,000. Brewer drew two and Mercier patter his 10x8x6x4x2x. Brewer was still alive with 8x7x5x, but his two draw cards were a nine and an ace, and the chip and chair miracle was not to be.

Chad Himmelspach Eliminated in 17th Place ($6,108)

Livello 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 45,000 ante

Chad Himmelspach moved all in from the cutoff for 310,000 before Brad Ruben called off for his last 275,000 on the button.

Himmelspach took one while Ruben stood pat after which Ruben showed down 9x5x4x3x2x. Himmelspach, meanwhile, held 9x7x5x3x and was drawing dead before turning over the 7x to hand Ruben a full double and leave himself with just 40,000.

A few hands later Himmelspach committed his last few chips on the button and was called by Brad Ruben in the small blind and Jon Turner in the big blind.

Both Ruben and Himmelspach took one while Turner opted for two. Action then checked around with Himmelspach tabling Jx9x8x5x2x. It was no good, however, as Ruben was able to finish the job he had started a few hands prior with 10x8x6x5x4x to send Himmelspach out of the tournament in 17th place.

Maria Ho Eliminated in 18th Place ($6,108)

Livello 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 45,000 ante

Two hands after doubling up Jonathan Glendinning, a short-stacked Maria Ho pushed all in for her remaining 120,000. Jon Turner called from the big blind.

Turner drew one to Jx5x4x3x and Ho one to 10x9x8x2x. Unfortunately Turner's fifth card was just slightly better than Ho's as he received a ten, and Ho a queen, and Ho's quest for her first bracelet came up just short.

Glendinning Hits Perfect to Double Up

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 35,000 ante

Jonathan Glendinning moved all in from the cutoff for 240,000 and Maria Ho called for two thirds of her stack from the button.

Glendinning drew one while Ho patted. She turned over 10x8x7x3x2x. Glendinning flipped 7x6x4x2x. When his new card was revealed it was a 3x which fit snuggly into his hand to make a number 2 and avert his elimination.

Michael Chow Eliminated in 19th Place ($6,108)

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 35,000 ante

Michael Chow moved all in on the button for his last 305,000 before Mike Watson re-jammed for 565,000 out of the small blind. Chris Brewer thought for a moment in the big blind but decided to get out of the way.

Watson took one while Chow stood pat, tabling 10x7x6x5x3x. Holding 8x7x3x2x, Watson was drawing very live and managed to find the 5x to make an eight-seven and in the process send Chow to the rail in 19th place.

Friedman Uses Position

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 35,000 ante

Mike Watson opened to 50,000 from middle position and received calls from Adam Friedman on the button as well as Jason Mercier in the big blind.

Mercier took two and Watson one while Friedman stood pat. Action then checked to Friedman and he bet out 40,000. That got a quick fold from Mercier but Watson took more time thinking over his decision. He did end up folding, conceding the pot to Friedman and allowing him to chip up.

Robert Campbell Eliminated in 20th Place ($6,108)

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 35,000 ante

Robert Campbell shoved all in from under the gun, and Nick Guagenti called from the small blind.

Guagenti waved his hand over his cards, and Campbell requested one.

Guagenti turned over 9x8x5x4x3x and Campbell 9x7x5x4x. Campbell would need a six, three or two to remain alive, but the draw brought him a second four instead.

Leslie patted and showed a nine-eight. Brewer drew one to 8x6x3x2x and caught a four to send Leslie to the rail.
