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.

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.

Three-handed on a flop of 9♣5♣8♦, action checked to William McMurray who bet 40,000 on the button. Only Fabian Donovan called and they went heads-up to the 9♥ turn.
