Bell Tolls for Minieri
![[user140525]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
And just like that, Dario Minieri went from short to eliminated (and still short). Chris Bell raised under the gun, and Minieri shoved for 67,000 on top from the big blind. Bell called with 
to put Dario and his 
at risk. It was a pretty terrible flop for Minieri - 
. He was drawing dead after the 
on the turn, heading to the rail and leaving his table three-handed. Blair Hinkle is in the lead with 330, Bell is now up to 270,000, and Nicolas Levi has around 240,000.
Big Fade for Hanks, Now Heads Up
Brent "bhanks11" Hanks faded a ton of outs against Maxim Lykov, and is now heads up with Josef Monro.
Monro limped on the button and Hanks raised from the small blind to 18,000, Lykov called in the big blind and Monro folded his button.
The flop fell 
and Hanks led for 25,000. The next .0005 seconds went like this:
Lykov raise.
Hanks shove.
Lykov call.
Here were the hands:
Lykov: 
Hanks: 
Lykov had a ton of outs, but the 
bricked on the turn and the 
bricked on the river.
A few hands later Lykov was eliminated by Josef Monro.
The two got it all-in preflop and Lykov’s 
was dominated by Monro’s 
.
The board ran 
and Lykov was eliminated.
Hanks and Monro are now heads up, and after a quick double-up by Hanks the stacks look like this:
Hanks: 599,000 chips
Monro: 301,000 chips
It's Been a Pleasure
We missed the hand unfortunately, but Aaron Been was eliminated by Stuart Rutter.

Hinkle Clubs Levi
Not literally.

The flop fell 
and Hinkle led for 30,000. Levi called and the two checked the on the turn.
The 
was the river card and Hinkle led for 75,000. Levi called and quickly mucked when Hinkle tabled 
for a turned flush.
Hinkle jumped to 335,000 chips and Levi dropped to 332,000.
Hinkle Cracks Bell, Liberates Him from Tournament
Chris Bell got it all in good with against Blair Hinkle's 
. And for the second time today, Hinkle got a gift from the board. It came 
, and Hinkle's flopped set sent Bell packing. Hinkle rivered a set of tens earlier in the day to eliminate Tom Dwan and his kings. Blair is now heads up with Nicolas Levi.
Hinkle - 635,000
Levi - 265,000
Hanks Holds, Advances to Final Table
We have one seat reserved at the final table of Event #6, and it's for Brent Hanks.
His heads up match with Josef Monro concluded with a race, and all the money went in preflop. Hanks held against Monro's 
and the board ran 
.
With the victory Hanks is guaranteed at least $71,998 and a shot at $441,692 and the bracelet tomorrow.
No More Chips for Moore, Channing Locks Up Final Table Seat
Neil Channing raised to 8,500, and his heads-up opponent Chris Moore reraised to 23,000. Channing called, and the flop fell 
. Moore bet 40,000, and Channing flatted. The on the turn elicited a 100,000-chip bet from Moore, and Channing moved all in. Moore was covered and made the call for his tournament life. It didn't look good for Moore's 
when Channing turned up 
for two pair and a flush draw. The on the river gave Channing the nut flush and a ticket to the final table. Now he's got the night off to prepare before he has to get back to work at 2:30 tomorrow.
