The 23rd level of play is without a doubt the most exciting level we've seen all tournament. The biggest pot of the day so far was just played between three players, and Ashley Warner came out on top. He knocked out two players in the process, and has a huge chip lead heading into five-handed play.

Karan Punjabi was the short stack at the table and he moved all in under the gun for 275,000. Warner was to his direct left, and he made the call. The action was folded to Igal Augarten who snap-called this shove for a big portion of his stack. Three players went to the flop.

The flop brought {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and Augarten moved all in right away.

"What the f***?" Warner said immediately as Augarten had moved in for 405,000 chips. Michael Guzzardi could not stop laughing at all this action, and the crowd closed in on the action when Warner decided to call.

Ashley Warner{K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Igal Augarten{A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Karan Punjabi{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Warner was well ahead to knock two players out, and the {2-Clubs} on the turn made his chances even bigger. The river brought the {9-Clubs}, and two players were knocked out! Warner raked in another massive pot as we are down to five players.
