Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 2,000 ante

A short-stacked Chip Ervin raised to 16,000 in middle position and got called by Ravee Sundara on the button.

On the A♠9♥4♣ flop, Ervin bet his last 8,000 chips and was called by Sundara to put him at risk.

Chip Ervin: Q♣J♣10♥10♦
Ravee Sundara: Q♦Q♥8♦3♠

Sundara's queens were ahead of Ervin's tens, and after the 4♥K♠ runout, they held up to eliminate Ervin.

Meanwhile, Kai Yang has also been eliminated, leaving just 13 players in the field.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 2,000 ante

After Jason Daly raised in the hijack and got called by Jason Fitzpatrick in the cutoff and Quan Tran on the button, Ravee Sundara potted it from the big blind and got called by Daly.

The other two players folded, leaving the flop heads up with 132,000 in the middle.

The dealer spread 9♣9♦4♥ and Sundara bet the pot, leaving himself just 10,000 behind. After some thought, Daly moved in and Sundara flicked in his last chips.

Ravee Sundara: A♦K♦7♣7♥
Jason Daly: K♠K♣7♠2♣

Daly's kings up were ahead of Sundara's nines and sevens and after the 2♦5♣ completed the board, Daly had made a play for the end-of-night chip lead by sending Sundara home in the huge pot.

Meanwhile, at the other table, Justin Shaft was also eliminated, leaving the field two eliminations away from advancing to Day 2.
