Nam Le Eliminated in 17th Place ($17,598)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Nam Le
Nam Le

Nam Le was crippled in a previous pot against Makoto Yoshimichi where he lost more than half his stack by folding to a river reraise on a {K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board.

On the very next hand, Nam moved his last 130,000 chips all in from the small blind only to be called by William Guerrero in the big blind.

Le: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Guerrero: {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The board rolled out {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and brought no help to Le. With that, the field has now been cut down to just 16 players.

Liu Fires Three Bullets

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We found Mark Wilds facing a bet from Ping Liu on a {7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop. Wilds called, and the players saw a turn of {3-Hearts}. Wilds checked, and Liu bet 75,000 this time. Wilds called once again. A {4-Clubs} hit the river, and Wilds checked a final time, but Liu wasn't done.

"All in," he said softly to the dealer. Wilds tanked for about two minutes, shifting in his chair, before he finally folded.

We missed the hand but Ryan Olisar was kind enough to let us know that he raised to 40,000 before Borneman shoved all in from the small blind. Olisar made the call with {K-}{K-} and Borneman was holding {9-}{9-}. The board was kind to Olisar and Borneman hit the rail.

Cooper Doubles Up on River

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Cooper asked the dealer for his all in chip, and the dealer tossed it over. Everyone folded to Mark Wilds, who called on the button. The blinds folded.

Wilds: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Cooper: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Cooper got up from the table when the dealer rolled out the {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, The {3-Clubs} did him no good either, but when the dealer placed the {q-Hearts} on the board for the river card, Cooper pointed at the dealer in appreciation and sat back down.

Mark Wilds Eliminated in 15th Place ($22,239)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Binh Ta opened for 45,000 from middle position, and Mark Wilds moved all in from his immediate left. Ta made the call, and the players showed.

Ta: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Wilds: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Wilds wasn't in terrible shape despite just holding queen-high, but a {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop diminished his chances. The turn and river were {7-Spades} and {6-Clubs}, and Wilds was sent to the rail shortly after his aces were cracked.

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Travis Wiedower
Travis Wiedower

Preflop, Travis Wiedower moved all in for his last 174,000 chips. In the small blind, William Guerrero made the call and immediately turned up his hand, {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, with Seth Baker still to act. Baker took a second, showed his {4-}{4-} and then folded. The two other players went to showdown and Wiedower showed his {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

The board ran out {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Wiedower's trips were no match for Guerrero's boat and he was sent to the payout desk.

After the hand, Guerrero received a one round penalty for exposing his hand with a player still to act.

Sylvestre Calls the Clock, Gets a Double.

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Preflop, Charles Sylvestre moved all in for just around 500,000 and action was on Ping Liu in the big blind. Liu took his time to make a decision, and after a few minutes of thought, Sylvestre decided to call the clock on him.

Liu used up his entire time back thinking about the decision he had to make and as the tournament director reached "three," Ping announced a call.

Liu: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Sylvestre: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

"It's a flip," Sylvestre shouted to his rail.

The board ran out {4-Spades}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} to give Sylvestre two pair and awarding him a massive double up. Liu just shook his head and shipped over the chips.
