Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mike Arzoumanidis potted to 50,000 second-to-act and Danny Chang called on his left. In the small blind, Brandon Mueller repotted to 215,000, Arzoumanidis called all in for 150,000, and Chang called.

On the 763 flop, Mueller check-folded to a bet of 150,000 from Chang.

Mike Arzoumanidis: KQQ4 All in
Danny Chang: 10987

Arzoumanidis was ahead with queens and a flush draw against the wrap of Chang. However, the 5 turn completed Chang's straight, and Arzoumanidis could not find a flush on the A river, sending him to the rail in 14th.

Philip Black Eliminated in 15th Place ($2,045)

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Mark Aridgides potted to 35,000 from middle position and was called by Philip Black on the button and Elan Chabi from the small blind.

On the A76 flop, Aridgides continued for 40,000, Black potted to 245,000, and Chabi jammed for 375,000. Aridgides got out of the way before Black called off his shorter stack for just a couple more chips.

Philip Black: A10107 All in
Elan Chabi: KJ102

Black held top two pair against the flush draw of Chabi. The 6 turn was safe, but the 3 landed on the river, giving Chabi the flush to eliminate Black.

Shortly before the hand, James Carroll was eliminated in 16th.

Churchill, Balla Triple Up

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Elan Chabi bet 25,000 from middle position on a flop of A48 and Graig Churchill called in the cutoff, as did Mark Aridgides on the button.

The turn was the A and action checked to Aridgides, who bet 110,000. Chabi called, while Churchill then moved all in for 135,000. Both opponents called.

The 6 river was checked down, and Churchill showed AJ64 for a full house. Aridgides flashed 88 as he mucked, while Chadi said he had ace-king as he also sent his cards back to the dealer.

At another table, Danny Chang had limped in before Thomas Balla raised to 45,000 in the cutoff. James Hundt three-bet to 160,000 on the button and Chang called, while Balla also called all in.

Chang bet 40,000 on the 763 flop, and Hundt folded.

Thomas Balla: AQQ8 All in
Danny Chang: J1098

Chang was on a straight draw against Balla's queens, but he missed the K turn and 6 river as Balla tripled up.

Zaken Falls to Chang

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Amir Zaken potted to 35,000 on the button and Danny Chang called in the big blind after taking inventory of Zaken's remaining stack.

On the KQ3 flop, Chang led for 25,000, Zaken raised all in for 55,000, and Chang called.

Amir Zaken: AA42 All in
Danny Chang: KJ74

Chang has top pair and a flush draw, while Zaken was still in the lead with aces. However, the K turn gave Chang trips, and nothing changed on the 10 river, sending Zaken to the rail in 17th.

Brian Cole raised to 27,000 in the hijack and Jonas Wexler three-bet to 115,000 in the small blind. Wexler held up his last 30,000 chips as he waited for Cole to act, and Cole eventually called.

Wexler then put in his last chips on the K102 flop, and Cole snap-called.

Jonas Wexler: AAQ9 All in
Brian Cole: KQJ5

Wexler showed two aces, but Cole had flopped a flush. The rest of the board ran out 58, and Wexler was sent to the rail.
