Beihao Wang Eliminated in 22nd Place (£2,870)

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Hong Pham raised to 60,000 on the button before Beihao Wang moved all in for 350,000 in the small blind. Pham tanked for a moment before calling.

Beihao Wang: 10♦9♦
Hong Pham: Q♥J♥

The 2♥8♠4♣ flop didn't help either player, but Wang made a pair on the 9♥ turn. Pham also picked up a flush draw, but she didn't need it as the J♣ arrived on the river to give her a pair of jacks and send Wang to the rail.

Dooley Eliminated in 23rd Place (£2,870)

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

William McMurray raised to 60,000 under the gun and Carl Shaw called in the hijack. Dooley tossed in his last 10,000 after paying the big blind.

The flop came J♥2♦7♥ and Shaw bet 40,000. McMurray called, then folded to another bet on the 3♠ turn.

Shaw then turned over A♠10♠ and Dooley showed A♥. "I don't want that. Just give me a deuce," Dooley asked, but his other card was the 5♦ and the 3♣ sealed his elimination.

Oliver Prior: A♣A♠
Teodor Evstratiev: 9♥9♦

Reynolds Falls to Harris; Chen Doubles Off Watson

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Brandon Harris raised to 50,000 under the gun, then called when Scott Reynolds shoved from the cutoff for 200,000.

Scott Reynolds: K♥J♠
Brandon Harris: A♠K♦

Reynolds was dominated heading to the 2♠8♠9♦4♦K♠ board as Harris took the pot with his ace-kicker to send Reynolds to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Lin Chen was all in for 210,000 and up against Wendy Watson.

Lin Chen: Q♦10♠
Wendy Watson: 9♦9♥

Chen hit a pair on the 3♣10♥7♣, then improved to two pair on the Q♥ turn. The river was the 8♦ and Chen doubled up.

The remaining 24 players are now drawing for seats at the final three tables.

Khuu Victim of a Brutal River

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Chuc Khuu in the cutoff, button Cosmin Penescu, and Charles Chattha under the gun all got their chips in the middle preflop.

Chuc Khuu: J♦10♦
Cosmin Penescu: A♥K♣
Charles Chattha: A♣K♥

"Give it to me one time," Khuu pleaded, and he got his wish on the 7♣J♣4♦ flop. "Six of diamonds," he asked for.

"Why not a jack," a tablemate asked.

"That's more fun," Khuu replied as the 9♦ fell on the turn, also giving him a flush draw. The river, though, was a catastrophic A♠ as Chattha and Penescu both paired their ace.

Khuu had around 275,000 remaining and was sent to the rail, punching the wall on his way out, while Chattha and Penescu split his chips.

At the same time at another table, Beihao Wang doubled up against Lin Chen for around 200,000 with A♦J♠ against 9♣9♠ when Wang spiked the river on 4♠Q♣6♥K♠A♣.

Player	Chips	Progress
Charles Chattha	750,000

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Bhavin Khatri shoved for around 300,000 in the cutoff and Christopher Johnson called in early position.

Bhavin Khatri: A♥6♦
Christopher Johnson: 8♠8♣

The board ran out 9♣K♣J♥9♦9♠ and Johnson finished with a full house to send Khatri to the rail.

"That's the second ICM suicide," tablemate Dooley said.

Harris Makes Broadway on the River

David Salituro

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

Joe Newby moved all in for 245,000 under the gun, Brandon Harris reshoved on the button, and the rest of the table folded.

Joe Newby: 2♥2♦
Brandon Harris: A♣Q♣

Newby's deuces were in front following the 5♥J♠7♦ flop, while the turn came the 10♠. The river was the K♦ and Harris rivered the nut straight to send Newby to the rail.

"Unlucky, mate," he told Newby while raking in the chips.

Wiszowaty Gets Shown a Better Ace

David Salituro

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

Man Li raised to 40,000 under the gun before Mariusz Wiszowaty moved all in for 280,000 in the hijack. Min Ji called on the button, as did Li once action folded back to him.

The flop came 7♠4♥K♣ and a bet of 250,000 from Ji quickly forced Li from the pot.

Mariusz Wiszowaty: A♥Q♠
Min Ji: A♣K♠

Ji had flopped top pair and Wiszowaty was already drawing dead by the 9♠ turn and storming out of his seat. The inconsequential river was the 2♥ and Ji sent Wiszowaty to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Min Ji	1,600,000 500,000	500,000
Man Li	800,000 -200,000	-200,000

David Salituro

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

Beihao Wang raised to 35,000 in the hijack, then called when Robert Douras moved all in for 135,000 from the big blind.

Robert Douras: A♥10♦
Beihao Wang: K♠K♣

Wang had woken up with kings and, while Douras paired his ten on the 6♠2♦10♣ flop, the 3♦ turn and 4♣ river were no further help and he was eliminated.

Day 1a chip leader Ali Abdulzahra was also eliminated shortly before, as was Jiaze Li.

Rahman Picks Off Day

David Salituro

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

Action folded to Christopher Day on the button who moved all in for around 180,000. Shapiur Rahman called in the big blind.

Christopher Day: K♦J♥
Shapiur Rahman: A♦Q♣

Day began tossing in his time bank cards pleading for help, but the dealer turned over the 6♦10♦4♠9♠2♦ board and the sun set on Day's run in the tournament.

Pablo Rojas was also recently eliminated. "Ace-king versus aces," he told Mark Reed at another table as he came to say goodbye. Reed himself was eliminated shortly afterward, as was Scarlet Passway.
