Yoshie Watanabe Eliminated

It took Tricia David two hands, but she knocked out Yoshie Watanabe. First the two similarly-sized stacks were all in preflop, with David tabling pocket kings and catching a mate on the flop. The next hand, Watanabe was all in blind from under the gun with {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. David moved all in herself and tabled {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} once everyone else had folded. The board ran out {K-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {5-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {J-Spades} to make a winner out of David and a "so close, but so far" railbird out of Watanabe.

Backlund Back

Backlund back because of Back

Erik Backlund moved all in from middle position for 24,500, and with it folding round to Chris Back in the big blind he ummed and ahhed before making the call.

Backlund: {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Back: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The window card sank Back when it was the {K-Spades}, but seeing the flop run out {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Spades} gave Back a few more outs to go along with the two remaining threes.

The turn fell the {7-Clubs} chopping an out for Back, and when the {6-Diamonds} landed on the river Backlund doubled to 45,000 as Back slipped to 31,500 in chips.

Pedley Pushes Past Six Figures

Kim Tae Hyung opened from late position to 8,500 and Michael Pedley made the call from the cutoff.

The flop fell down {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Pedley made it 15,000 and was met with an instant all-in reraise from Hyung, with Pedley calling quicker than his horse "Corporation" bounds out of the gate back home in Australia.

Pedley: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Hyung: {6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Drawing very slim, it would remain that way for Hyung when it fell the {K-Clubs} and {3-Diamonds} on the turn and river. As Hyung slipped to 78,000, Pedley galloped ahead to over 110,000 in chips.

Liz Lieu Likes the Ladies

It was a battle of the blinds between Liz Lieu and Ivan Tan. Tan tried to make a move on Lieu with {10-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, but she snap-called all in with pocket queens. The board ran out {2-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {9-Hearts} to give Lieu a much-needed double-up to 62,000. Tan is now in danger of bubbling on his last longer bet with Andrew Scott; he has just 26,000.

What's That Sucking Sound?

It must be the sound of everyone sucking in their guts. With only 33 players remaining, we're functionally on the bubble of the tournament. Play has slowed down drastically, but the shorties won't be able to turtle forever. Blinds go up in 18 minutes.

Kluber Cracks the Top Ten

Ron Kluber is hanging tough on Table 4. Sitting in the big blind, he took a raised flop with Steve Sung. The dealer spread out {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {5-Spades}. Kluber checked to Sung, who made a continuation bet of 7,500. Kluber raised that to 29,500, inducing a fold from Sung after 30 seconds.

"You scare me, man," Kluber told Sung after the hand. "You scare me." Scary or not, Sung is down to 95,000 chips. Kluber is up to 105,000.
