Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nick Sims moved all in from under the gun for 330,000, as did Miguel Medrano in the big blind for a very similar stack.

Miguel Medrano: A♦J♦
Nick Sims: K♥9♦

The flop came J♣J♠8♣ instantly bringing trips to Medrano. The 10♣ on the turn gave Sims some hope with a gutshot straight draw, but the 8♠ on the river filled up Medrano.

After the chips were counted up, Sims was left with just 5,000 chips.

He spun it up to 50,000, but then shoved his K♠7♥ under the gun into Ian Auvil's K♥K♦, and after a J♣6♦2♦3♣8♦ runout, last year's third-place finisher was eliminated in 10th place.

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Paul Chamberlain raised to 250,000 on the button and Andrew Ferguson moved all in for about 600,000. Chamberlain called.

Andrew Ferguson: 5♦5♠
Paul Chamberlain: 6♥6♣

Chamberlain was in dominant shape, especially after the A♥Q♥7♥ flop. The turn gave Ferguson a set with the 5♥, but it also gave Chamberlain a flush.

Ferguson asked for the dealer to pair the board, but the 9♣ was unaccommodating, leaving the field with just ten players.

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Charles Gudaitis moved all in from the cutoff for 505,000 and was snap-called by Chris Davis on the button. Ronald Kaepernick thought briefly in the big blind but folded.

Charles Gudaitis: 5♦5♠
Chris Davis: Q♥Q♦

Gudaitis was in rough shape and after the 2♠3♦8♠K♠8♥ runout, his inferior pair cost him a trip to the rail with 12th place money.

After Bogdan Zavu moved all in from under the gun for 455,000, Liz DiBernardo did likewise for 215,000 in late position.

Liz DiBernardo: A♥J♣
Bogdan Zavu: A♣Q♣

DiBernardo's ace was dominated and after a runout of A♠7♥6♣7♦4♦, her day in the tournament was done.

Paul Cassella: A♥J♥
Paul Chamberlain: A♦Q♣

Cassella was dominated and after the A♣6♥3♣Q♠9♠ runout, Chamberlain's turned pair of queens eliminated Cassella.

Mike Patrick

Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Nick Sims moved all in from early position for 400,000 and was called for less by Antwan Tate in the big blind who had just 75,000 left.

Antwan Tate: K♦9♦
Nick Sims: A♦J♦

Sims had the best hand and had the diamonds covered as well, and after the Q♥J♥8♦7♠7♦ board ran out, Tate couldn't fill his added gutshot straight draw on the flop, while Sims paired his jack to eliminate Tate in 15th place.
