Warrington Eliminated
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Action exploded between Chris Johnson and Ben Warrington on a 
flop that resulted in the latter getting his last 200,000 or so in the middle.
Warrington: 
Johnson: 
Warrington had flopped top pair, but it was no good as Johnson had flopped top and bottom pairs. The 
turn improved Johnson to a full house, and after the 
was put out on the river, Warrington made his way to the payout desk in 28th place.
Meanwhile, Binh Nguyen busted one table over at the same time as Warrington. That means 26 players will redraw to the final three tables as opposed to the usual 27.

McNulty Has Mountains
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Ben Warrington was first to act in the small blind and he raised to 15,000 using three orange T5,000 chips. Thad McNulty defended his big blind and it was heads-up to the 
flop.
Warrington bet 16,000 and McNulty called. The turn gave the 
some airtime and Warrington bet again, this time 40,000. McNutly instantly raised to 100,000 and Warrington let his hand go.
McNulty looks to be our chip leader with over 700,000 chips.

Big Double for Nicholson
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
With around 35,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, Joseph Brattole checked and David Nicholson bet 12,000. Brattole then woke up with a check-raise to 34,000 and Nicholson moved all in for 91,000 more. Brattole thought long and hard before making the call.
Nicholson: 
Brattole:
Nicholson was ahead with his kings, but the dealer burned and turned the 
to give Brattole two pair. Much to Nicholson's relief, which was represented by a fist pump, the spiked on the river to counterfeit Brattole and give Nicholson the double.

Phan Cracks Baron's Pocket Rockets
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Rep Porter opened for 14,000 from middle position and the player in the hijack called. Isaac Baron then three-bet to 40,000 from the cutoff and Andy Phan moved all in for 74,000 from the big blind. Porter and the hijack both folded, and Baron snap-called.
Baron: 
Phan: 
Baron was well out in front with the granddaddy of all hands, but then the flop came down 
to give Phan a set. Baron seemed frustrated, but he held the only heart. The turn actually gave him the flush, but the lead was only temporary as the 
paired the board to give Phan a winning full house.

Easy Does It For Chattaway
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
William "Billy" Chattaway opened to 14,000 from middle position and was called by Sam Cohen in the cutoff. The talented duo watched on as the 
flop came into play, Chattaway greeting it with a 20,000 bet. Cohen quickly folded and Chattaway now has more than 100,000 chips.
Chattaway may be a relative unknown here in the United States, but we can tell you that he is an incredibly talented tournament player online, one who has almost $2 million in online winnings and who was once ranked 21st in the world for online tournament play.

Thayer Rasmussen moved all in from the cutoff for 64,500 in total and Pierre Milan, on the button, called. Both blinds mucked and Rasmussen discovered his 
was in a race against Milan's 
.
Rasmussen was drawing dead by the turn of the 
board, stood, said his goodbyes and headed towards the cashier's desk to collect his winnings.
