The remaining 41 players are being sent on their final 15-minute break of the night before completing two more levels.

O'Connell Falls Victim to Massive Cooler

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Drew O'Connell
Drew O'Connell

Arian Stolt raised to 24,000 in the hijack and Drew O'Connell called on the button. Russ Dunlevy then three-bet to 76,000 in the small blind, and Stolt folded. O'Connell, though, moved all in for 300,000, and Dunlevy quickly called.

Drew O'Connell: KK All in
Russ Dunlevy: AA

O'Connell ran his kings right into Dunlevy's aces, and the J3755 board offered no help as he was sent to the rail.

"I would've gone broke on the flop if not for you," Stolt said to Dunlevy.

"I mean, a monkey could win chips with these cards," Dunlevy replied.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sean Ruane
Sean Ruane

Sean Ruane opened to 27,000 from middle position and Colin Moll flatted in the hijack.

On the AQ3 flop, Ruane led for 25,000 and Moll instantly called.

The river brought the 8 as Ruane check-called a final bet of 75,000 from Moll.

Colin Moll: A6
Sean Ruane: A10

Both players had trip aces, but Ruane's kicker played as his stack grows to over a million.

Alex Queen
Alex Queen

Alex Queen jammed for his final 104,000 from the hijack and Maxwell Young looked him up from the small blind.

Alex Queen: A10 All in
Maxwell Young: 77

It was a coinflip scenario as the J32 flop offered no help to Queen.

The Q turn added a gutshot to his outs, but he could not find any on the 6 river, and his run was cut short

Punjarojanakul slowed down and checked to Grabel, who bet 100,000. Punjarojanakul called and checked again on the J river, and Grabel moved all in for 390,000.

Punjarojanakul waited for the dealer to finish counting down Grabel's stack before he sent his cards into the muck.

St. Lawrence Binks the River to Survive

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
George St. Lawrence
George St. Lawrence

George St. Lawrence jammed for 171,000 under the gun before it folded to Omar Taveras in the small blind. He would burn through three time extensions before he rejammed, and the hands were tabled.

George St. Lawrence: A10 All in
Omar Taveras: AQ

St. Lawrence's kicker was in bad shape against Taveras and he needed to improve. The J32 flop changed nothing before the K turn swapped each other's outs with two broadway gutters.

The Q came on the river, completing St. Lawrence's straight as a stunned Taveras had doubling chips sent to St. Lawrence.

Anthony Zinno: A10 All in
James Tedrow: QQ

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Wesley Shi
Wesley Shi

Sharman Olshan departed in 48th place and another two players followed right away to bring the field down to the final five tables all of a suddenn.

Daniel Lazrus was the first to run out of chips thereafter when he got a shorter stack in the middle preflop against John McDonald.

Daniel Lazrus: A4 All in
John McDonald: QJ

The 101037J board improved McDonald on the river.

Wesley Shi picked the same ace-rag to get his chips into the middle against Ricky Guan.

Wesley Shi: A4 All in
Ricky Guan: JJ

The pocket pair held on the K10426 runout to send Shi to the nearby payout desk, too.

Last but not least, Carlos Chadha Villamarin flipped for his last 232,000 against Russ Dunlevy.

Carlos Chadha Villamarin: 99 All in
Russ Dunlevy: AxJx

The J10278 board gave Chadha the straight on the river.
