Level 11
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Xu Hang's table was broken after he busted Nick Eastwood earlier, and he was moved to a new one featuring Tom Middleton.
On one of his first hands at his new table, he and Middleton went to the turn on a board of 4♦5♦J♠3♠ when Middleton bet 25,000 from the hijack.
Hang called under the gun as the 6♥ fell on the river. Hang checked and Middleton moved all in for 104,000.
Hang went into the tank for more than three minutes until he threw his cards into the muck, awarding the pot to Middleton without a showdown.
Recent bustouts include Chin Fernando, WSOP Main Event 10th-place finisher Jose Aguilera, and 888poker Steam Team member Aaron Barone.

Trevor Reardon raised to 3,200 under the gun and Niall Farrell called in early position. Dan Jackson then three-bet to 10,000 in the cutoff and Reardon four-bet to 21,000.
Farrell got out of the way, but Jackson five-bet shoved and Reardon snap-called for his last 51,000.
Trevor Reardon: A♣A♠
Dan Jackson: A♥K♠
It was Reardon's turn to be on the right side of a cooler after he lost with kings versus jacks earlier. The board ran out 6♥10♦J♥2♣4♦ and Jackson was forced to hand over most of his stack.

Daniel Laidlaw raised to 3,500 in middle position before Paul Ephremsen three-bet to 10,000 on the button. Laidlaw called and they went heads-up to the K♥4♥3♦ flop.
Both players checked and Laidlaw then led out for 20,000 on the 5♥ turn. Ephremsen quickly called and the 2♦ fell on the river.
Laidlaw then moved all in for around 90,000 and Ephremsen tanked for nearly two minutes before mucking.

Heads-up on a board of A♥8♣6♥2♣, Keith Littlewood bet 7,600 from the button before Katie Swift moved all in for 21,000 in the big blind.
Littlewood called with 5♦4♦ for a straight draw, while Swift was also on a draw holding 10♣9♣. Neither player had a pair yet, but that changed when the river came the 4♥ and Littlewood made a pair of fours to send Swift to the rail.
Niall Farrell also recently busted on another table.

Action folded to Asish Ghosh on the button who moved all in for 20,000. Brandon Sheils called in the small blind.
Asish Ghosh: A♥J♠
Brandon Sheils: 4♥4♠
The flop came 8♥7♣10♣ and Sheils remained in front with his fours. "Pair the board," Sheils pleaded as the 10♠ fell on the turn.
"Don't pair the board again," he added. The river didn't pair the board, but it did bring the A♣ as Ghosh hit his ace to double up.

Niall Farrell just reentered the tournament and on one of his first hands called an all-in shove on the button from Mitchell Johnson in the small blind for around 22,000.
Mitchell Johnson: K♠10♥
Niall Farrell: 8♣8♠
Farrell's eights remained in front on the 4♠A♥8♠ flop, but Johnson spiked the K♠ on the turn to take the lead. The river came the Q♦ and Johnson doubled up.
"In this building, I'm not holding my f**king breath," Farrell said as he handed over the chips, dropping down to a short stack yet again.

: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Josh Manley raised to 4,000 on the button before Paul Ephremsen three-bet to 26,000 in the small blind. Manley then moved all in for 31,200 and Ephremsen called.
Josh Manley: A♠A♣
Paul Ephremsen: A♦7♥
"That's great timing," Ephremsen said heading to the 10♣7♦8♦, which gave him some hope with a pair. The board ran out Q♥4♦ and some tablemates reacted thinking Ephremsen was suited before realizing Manley had secured a double up.
