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.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Lin Chen limped in under the gun as action folded to big blind Andrew Probyn who moved all in for 130,000. Chen splashed in the rest of his chips, barely having Probyn covered.

Andrew Probyn: A♣8♦
Lin Chen: 10♣10♠

Probyn made top pair on the 4♥8♣2♦ flop but improved no further on the 7♦ turn or J♣ river.

"Even if you check the eight comes and we get it in any way," Chen told Probyn on his way to the rail.

Bixi Yao and Anthony Toole were also recently eliminated.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Heads-up in a blind versus blind battle, Wendy Watson led out for 25,000 on a flop of K♣9♠6♣ and Jose Aguilera called.

The turn came the J♣ and Watson checked to Aguilera, who fired out 45,000. Watson quickly called and the 4♦ fell on the river.

Aguilera then bet another 120,000 and Watson called. Aguilera showed K♠J♠ for two pair.

"I have a king too, but it's not with anything good," Watson said as she mucked K♣2♦.

Mark Welch: A♥9♠

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Paul Vas Nunes had raised on the button before Hong Pham three-bet to 125,000 in the big blind. Vas Nunes then moved all in for around 420,000 and Pham confirmed the amount before calling.

Paul Vas Nunes: 10♦10♣
Hong Pham: K♠K♦

Vas Nunes was crushed by Pham's kings, but was even more crushed when the K♠7♥4♥ flop gave her top set. She improved to a full house on the 4♦ turn and Vas Nunes was already drawing dead by the 5♥ river and heading for the exit.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Wendy Watson raised to 25,000 under the gun and Gary Miller moved all in for 130,000 in middle position. The table folded back around to Watson and she called to put Miller at risk.

Gary Miller: 8♣8♠
Wendy Watson: 4♥4♠

Miller was far ahead with his pocket eights, but the flop brought K♠K♣4♣ and Watson made a full house to leave Miller looking for help. The turn came the 9♣, followed by the 2♠ as Miller was eliminated.

"Unlucky Gary," a tablemate told Miller, who tapped the felt and wished his tablemates luck before heading for the exit.
