: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Yaxi Zhu opened with a raise from the hijack only to have Andrew Lichtenberger three-bet all in for 28,000 from the small blind. Connor Drinan folded the big and Zhu called to put "Lucky Chewy" at risk.
Lichtenberger: 
Zhu: 
Lichtenberger was ahead, and he even improved to top set on the 
flop. However, it was no good as Zhu had flopped Broadway. Lichtenberger needed to pair the board to stay alive, but that didn't happen as the 
blanked on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
Meanwhile, Martin Finger's comeback fell short as he was also eliminated from the tournament.

Level 11
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Geoff Mooney from Sydney finished runner up in an event here earlier this week for A$24,524. That prize was just shy of the A$25,000 to buy into this tournament and he did just that to let it ride. He didn't turn it into greatness, as he's just been eliminated.
He was down to his last 30,000 or so and shoved from the cutoff. Erik Seidel in the big blind woke up with 
and instantly called. Mooney had 
and his hand not holding up: 
. Seidel is still down a bit, he plays just under 80,000 in chips.
