Ari Engel Eliminated in 25th Place ($22,885)

Ari Engel was left with a short stack just a short while ago and now his tournament life has come to an end in 26th place. The hand in question saw play folded around to Engel in the big blind where he shoved all in. It was around 200,000 more to Rast in the big blind and he went deep into the tank as he decided what to do.

Eventually Rast gave a bit of a shrug and said, "I guess i gotta call."

"I'm in bad shape," said Engel as he turned over {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

He was right, but he wasn't completely dead, with his cards live against Rast's {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. The {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds} board wouldn't do Engel any favors though as Engel would be heading home in 25th place, picking up $22,885 in the process.

Par Hilderbrand Eliminated in 27th Place ($22,885)

Aviraham Lovton opened to 33,000 and received a call from Par Hilderbrand in the big blind.

The flop fell {10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and Hilderbrand checked. Lovton continued for a bet of 59,000 and Hilderbrand thought for over a minute before moving all of his chips to the middle. Lovton quickly called and the hands were tabled:

Hilderbrand: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Lovton: {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Lovton was drawing and got there when the {10-Diamonds} drilled the turn. The {4-Spades} completed the board and Hilderbrand became the tournament's first casualty after the re-draw.

Le Takes Chips From Ari

When we arrived at Table 457, Ari Engel and Dien Le were taking to a {2-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop in a raised pot. Engel was in middle position and Le was in the big blind, so it was on Le to act. He went with the check and Engel fired out a bet. Le made the call and another card was dealt on the felt.

Turn: {3-Clubs}

Le would again check and this time Engel would bet 44,000. Le then raised it up to 180,000 and after some thought, Engel made the call.

River: {9-Hearts}

The river card would see Le immediately shove all in for 155,000. Engel had a tough decision, but eventually made the call. Le quickly tabled his {3-Spades}{2-Spades} for a turned two-pair and Engel slid his cards into the muck and a large portion of his chips away from his stack.
