John Riordan Eliminated in 18th Place ($13,628)

David Salituro

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

At the same time Phil Hellmuth was being knocked out on one of the other tables, John Riordan was all in for 960,000 from the small blind and up against Leonid Yanovski on the button .

Riordan had A♦4x but was dominated by Yanovski's A♣8♥. The board ran out 5♣6♠A♠10♥7♠ and Yanovski's eight-kicker played to send Riordan to the rail.

Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 19th Place ($13,628)

Jim Murray

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The last Hall of Famer in the field has fallen.

Phil Hellmuth moved all in from the button for his last 615,000 and was called by Josh Palmer in the big blind.

Phil Hellmuth: 8♦8♣
Josh Palmer: A♦J♦

Hellmuth would need to win the flip in order to survive, but the 3♦6♦3♠ flop provided Palmer additional outs to eliminate the 17-time bracelet winner.

The 4♣ turn left both hands unchanged, but Palmer would get lucky and spike a diamond on the 2♦ river, completing the flush and sending the "Poker Brat" to the payout desk.

In typical Hellmuth fashion, he was gracious in defeat and handed Palmer over the bounty slip worth $2,007.

Buell Wins a Flip to Survive

David Salituro

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Qing Liu raised to 180,000 from under the gun as action folded to Stephen Buell in the big blind who shoved all in for around 1,000,000. Liu thought for a few seconds before deciding to call.

Stephen Buell: A♥10♦
Qing Liu: 7♦7♣

Buell was racing for his tournament life and hit the A♦K♥4♠ flop, making top pair. The board ran out 9♦Q♦ and he doubled up.

Timothy Capretta Eliminated in 20th Place ($13,628)

Chris Bean

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jason James shoved from the small blind and the short-stacked Timothy Capretta in the big blind made the call for 475,000.

Timothy Capretta: A♣4♦
Jason James: 10♥7♦

Capretta's ace-high was looking good at the turn after the runout of Q♥8♥6♠Q♠, but the 7♥ gave James two pair to knockout Capretta.

James Borland Eliminated in 21st Place ($13,628)

Jim Murray

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

James Borland moved all-in for 1,145,000 from early position and was called by Jason James on the button.

James Borland: 9♠9♦
Jason James: Q♠Q♦

A significant dog before the flop, Borland would call for his "one-time," but the poker gods would not deliver, as the final board ran out 5♦2♥J♦5♠5♣, sending Borland to the payout desk.

David McGowan Eliminated in 22nd place ($13,628)

David Salituro

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

David McGowan moved all in for around 500,000 from middle position as Leonid Yanovski snap called in the big blind.

David McGowan: 6♣6♠
Leonid Yanovski: J♥J♣

McGowan was already standing up from his seat preparing to make his exit as the flop came 10♥Q♦Q♠. The Q♣ on the turn left him drawing dead, and the inconsequential 3♥ fell on the river to seal his elimination in 22nd place.
