Ron Carrocio is back in action. He busted Lee Childs after limping for 5,000 and then calling the all in of Childs for 36,500 with .
Childs held and did improve on a flop, the turn blanked but the river provided the over card to bust Childs.
Shortly after, Andy Spears played a big pot against David Eldridge and bet 67,000 on the turn before giving up the pot on the river. Eldridge checked as well and tabled as winning hand after the big draw of Spears didn't complete.
David Eldridge opened the action with a raise from the button and Ron Carrocio three-bet out of the big blind to what looked like 20,000. Eldridge made the call and they saw the flop. Carrocio led for 30,000 and that got a fold from his opponent.

When walking past the table of Jorn Walthaus, a friend of Viet Vo informed us that he received a text message that indicated Vo had hit the rail. Indeed, his seat was now occupied by another player. On the same table we have an updated chip count for Walthaus as well as Kent Snyder.
Walthaus could have been up even more after having a short stack at risk with versus . The flop delivered two clubs, but both turn and river blanked.
It was folded to Ryan D'Angelo in the small blind who was sitting with a similar stack to his opponent in the big blind, Bradley Yazicki. D'Angelo moved all in and Yazicki took a look at his cards and made the call. D'Angelo was behind with his but was at least drawing live to Yazicki's .
The board ran out and after the stacks were counted down it was confirmed that D'Angelo was eliminated. D'Angelo shrugged his shoulders and headed out of the tournament area, just 10 or spots shy of the money.
Just one hand before his elimination, Mike Sowers gave Ruben Visser 3:1 odds of cashing in the tournament and they agreed to wager $100. The next hand, Visser was in the big blind and three-bet shoved for what looked like 40,000 chips. Sowers was the initial raiser and looked him up.

After the flop and the turn, only the two over cards were left to save the Dutchman. The river wasn't one of them though and he handed over the $100 bill and left the seat. Even worse, shortly after the table was broken as well as we are down to 71 players.
Bruno Lopes has been able to keep his stack at double the average for the past two levels. Andrew Lichtenberger however was a short stack for most of the day, but "luckychewy" is on the best way to get up to average.
Just now he won a decent pot off Viet Vo after moving all in on the turn. Vo opted to wait for a better spot and mucked his cards.
