Jean Gaspard opened to 16,000 only to have Andrew Margolis moved all in. Gaspard made the call for his last 142,500 and we were off to a showdown.
Gaspard: 
Margolis: 
The board ran out 
to see Gaspard double through to 294,000 as Margolis slips to just 62,000 in chips.
On a board of 
Kenneth Whelan found himself all in holding 
against William Wilson Queen-high flush.
Fortunately for Whelan the river repeated with the 
to see him double through to 180,000 as Wilson slips to 91,000 in chips.
The next nine players are all taking home $5,720!

The cards are back in the air!
Level: 17
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 500
The remaining players are heading on a 20-minute break.
Earnest Bell opened to 10,000 from early position only to have Carlos Mortensen three-bet.
Bell committed his 150,000 chip stack and Mortensen made a crying call to put Bell at risk.
Bell: 
Mortensen: 
The flop fell down to put Bell way out in front, and the 
changed little on the turn.
Unfortunately for Bell the 
spiked on the river to send him to the rail and Mortensen to 415,000 in chips.
"I just want to concentrate on playing!" uttered an unusually angry Neil Channing when asked to rake up his black 100-denomination chips by the Tournament Director.
With the 100-denomination chips not needed for blinds and antes in this or any future levels, it is understandable that he would be asked to color up his 'blacks'.
What makes it more unusual is that Channing has over twenty double stacks of them!
In basic terms . . . he has over 80,000 in these, or 800 individual chips, or more than eight racks worth.
It is expected that Channing will be spending the majority of his upcoming break raking these chips up, but at least he has a healthy 195,000 chip stack in front of him to keep him comfortable.
Just falling short of the 5k mark, the next nine eliminations all took home $4,977 in prizemoney.

Facing an under the gun raise to 8,000, Adam Katz bumped it to 24,700 from the button only to have Kyle Bonazzo four-bet to 44,800 from the big blind.
The original raiser folded only to have Katz move all in for an additional 54,800 more. Bonazzo made the call and we were off to a showdown.
Katz:
Bonazzo:
The board fell 
to see Katz fade his mini-sweat to double through to 210,000 as Bonazzo slips to 70,000 in chips.
