Not all were able to find bags on this flight. Players like Daniel Lowery, PokerGO Commentator Jeff Platt, Jagdeep Bal, Brett Murray, and WSOP bracelet winner Pat Lyons will have to look to the following and final flight for their shot at the $500,000 guaranteed prizepool.

Play ended in Level 17 today, so it is ensured that play will go to one of the earlier levels as both the prior flights ended earlier than it.

Coverage for the main event will now take a break. Check back in later tonight for updates on the final flight and seat assignments.

Ronny Gil

Two players were knocked out at the same time on the last hand of the day.

The first saw Craig Carillo raise to 30,000 in early position and another player move all in for 65,000 in the big blind which Carillo called.

Opponent: AK
Craig Carillo: 1010

The board ran out K41037 and Carillo took in the pot while his opponent fell just short of the money.

At another table, a player called in the small blind while Ronny Gil checked his option in the big blind.

The flop of 10810 saw the small blind bet 10,000 and Gil moved all in for 214,000 effective, which his opponent called.

Opponent: Q10
Ronny Gil: Q9

Gil had flopped the world of draws while his opponent had flopped three tens. The turn 2 changed nothing, but the river J saw Gil make a straight which was good for the pot.

Stay tuned for full chip counts and a recap to come later tonight.
