Jun Young Park Eliminated in 17th Place ($5,984)

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

In the first hand after the start of the new level, Jun Young Park was all-in and at risk against the red-hot running Bien Mai.

Jun Young Park: K♠Q♥
Bien Mai: K♠Q♥

The A♠6♣2♥ flop left the South Korean with a mountain to climb and it was all over with the 4♠ turn, which made the 5♠ river a formality.

Break With 17 Players Remaining

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

In the final hand of the level, Bien Mai defended the big blind against a button raise of Andy Li and they got it in after the Q♦Q♥3♥ flop with Li at risk for 161,000.

Andy Li: J♣J♥
Bien Mai: 10♦3♦

The 2♠ turn and J♠ river changed nothing and Li doubled. "Hit and run, good flop," Mai joked. He had been tearing up the table before and it was a minor setback.

Right after, the T-1,000 chips were raced off on their table as the other two tables had already been taken care of in the next 10-minute break.

Ashish Munot Eliminated in 18th Place ($5,361)

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Following an under-the-gun raise by Philip Tan, Ashish Munot defended the big blind and then went for the stop and go, as he jammed the 9♥7♠5♠ flop for around 140,000. Tan eyeballed the stack of Munot and called.

Ashish Munot: Q♦5♦
Philip Tan: 10♠10♥

No help came with the 6♥ turn and J♥ river as Munot departed in 18th place for $5,361.

Jankowski Doubles Through Li

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Down to just 205,000, Lukasz Jankowski was all-in and at risk over on table one with the 8♠8♣.

Andy Li looked him up with the inferior 7♦7♥ and the superior pair locked up a full double on the K♦Q♣9♣J♥A♠ runout, as both players traded the role of short stack.

Tan Scores Large Double Against Munot

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Junnie Pamplona raised it up to 36,000 in the hijack and earned a flat-call by Ashish Munot on the button. Philip Tan three-bet to 151,000 in the small blind and Pamplona called. Munot then jammed all-in and Tan called to send Pamplona into agony.

He was visibly annoyed and then folded the J♥J♦ face-up with the words "how can I call?"

Philip Tan: A♣K♠
Ashish Munot: A♦Q♦

The 7♦6♦3♣ flop was a tease for Munot with the flush draw but neither the 9♥ turn nor the 8♣ river provided any help, as Tan doubled and left Munot with fewer than ten big blinds.

Philip Tan	1,850,000 1,020,000	1,020,000

Bo Jin Eliminated in 19th Place ($5,361)

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Soon after his double-up, Bo Jin collided with fellow countryman and short stack Jun Lai as both players turned over an ace with decent kicker.

Bo Jin: A♦10♥
Jun Lai: A♣J♦

Jin asked for a ten but then changed his mind until the 9♦5♣4♦K♦ turn to instead request another diamond. Neither wish was granted as the 5♥ river ended his run in 19th place.
