Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

At almost the same time and on different tables, Nathanael Seet and Yang Wang have been eliminated.

Seet open-shoved from under the gun for 82,000 and Kenny Hallaert in the small blind asked for a count. He then moved all in for around 110,000 and Derek Ip gave it a brief consideration in the big blind before releasing his cards into the muck.

Nathanael Seet: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Kenny Hallaert: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades} board kept Hallaert's hand best and he sent Seet to the rail.

Sinclair Gets There to Bust Rivera

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jack Sinclair opened to 6,500 and Marc Rivera three-bet to 18,000. When the action folded back to Sinclair, he four-bet all in and after some thought, Rivera called for his last 85,000.

Jack Sinclair: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Marc Rivera: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

It was a flip that Rivera would have to win to stay in the tournament, and he hit his queen on the {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop. The turn was the {4-Hearts} but the river {9-Diamonds} gave Sinclair a set and eliminated Rivera.

Another recent elimination is Jesse Sylvia who was sent to the rail by Igor Yaroshevskyy

Dietrich Fast opened the action with a raise to 6,500 from under the gun and was called by Daniel Neilson from one seat over and Chino Rheem in the big blind. The flop brought {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Rheem checked, Fast bet 8,000 and picked one caller in Neilson.

Fast then bet the {8-Clubs} turn for 30,000 and was called before a third barrel on the {9-Clubs} for 40,000 was called once more by Neilson. Fast tabled {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for a full house and scooped a decent pot to join the current chip leaders.

Urbanovich and Marsh Eliminated

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dzmitry Urbanovich was all in for a mere 26,500 in a battle of the blinds with Nick Pupillo and his {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} was trailing against the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} of Pupillo.

The kicker would play a crucial role on the {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Spades} runout and that sent Urbanovich to the rail.

Moments later, Luke Marsh was spotted on his way out of the tournament area as well. He got it in with {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and had a flip against the {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} of Yang Wang. The board came {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and that spelled the end for Marsh.

Yunye Lu ran out of chips on a different table and the field has been cut down to 44 hopefuls.

Marsh Doubles; Foxen Busts

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There are just 50 players remaining after the departure of Alex Foxen. According to Sam Higgs, Foxen was all in with king-queen against the king-ten of Warwick Mirzikinian and the Aussie got there.

On Higgs' table, Luke Marsh defended out of the blinds and check-called the shove of Michael Dyer on the {j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. Marsh tabled {q-Spades}{j-Spades} and Dyer had two overcards in {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. The {7-Spades} turn and {3-Clubs} river were both blanks. Dyer had around 60,000 and busted to Spiros Maroulis soon after.
