Ken McKay Eliminated in 22nd Place ($16,644)

Kevin O'Brien opened to 30,000 from middle position only to have Ken McKay move all in for 66,000. O'Brien made the call and we were off to a showdown.

McKay: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
O'Brien: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to see McKay sent to the rail in 22nd place while O'Brien climbs to 600,000 in chips.

Carlos Mortensen Eliminated in 23rd Place ($16,644)

Carlos Mortensen - 23rd place
Carlos Mortensen - 23rd place

Carlos Mortensen moved all in in middle position and Neil Channing called in the big blind.

Showdown
Mortensen: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Channing: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} gave Mortensen the 23rd place in this tournament. Channing moved up to 475,000 chips.

Five More Hands

The Tournament Director has just announced that there will be five more hands of play for the night!

What a Tank

With 95,000 already in the pot, the flop was spread {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Carlos Mortensen fired a 120,000 chip-bet on the button and Christopher Kastler announced re-raise all in.

Mortensen tanked for almost eight minutes, the clock was called and Mortensen eventually folded.

Mortensen slipped to 310,000 and Kastler now has 940,000 chips.

Kerry Langen Eliminated in 24th Place ($16,644)

Alexander Queen opened to 32,000 from late position only to have Kerry Langen move all in for 91,000. Queen made the call and the cards were tabled.

Queen: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Langen: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The flop of {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} put Queen in the lead and would leave Langen needing to catch an ace or running cards for a straight to stay alive.

The {2-Hearts} on the turn cut down Langen's backdoor outs, and when the {J-Diamonds} fell on the river, she hit the rail in 24th place earning herself $16,644 for her efforts.

Double up for Sands

David Sands

Markus Lehman opened the pot with a 27,000-chip raise and Kenneth Whelan called in the cutoff seat. The big blind, David Sands, re-popped it to 92,000 and Lehman folded.

Whelan went all in for an additional 340,000 chips and was called.

Showdown
Sands: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Whelan: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The board {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} gave Sands a full double up.

Whelan slipped to 80,000 chips.
