Andre Baillargeon "Smith" Eliminated in 18th Place ($3,684)

Just a few hands after doubling up with pocket aces, Andre Baillargeon "Smith" found himself pondering a call for his tournament life.

William Vogel had put him all in on the {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} board.

"I might make the sickest call of my life here," he said. "I have king high and I might call. It doesn't matter. I call."

Vogel turned over {a-Hearts}{7-Spades} for the full house and Baillargeon's king-high hit the muck as he hit the rail.

Larry Carney Eliminated in 19th Place ($3,206)

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Tom Krol made it 26k from the button and Larry Carney pushed all in for his last 140,000.

Krol made the call with {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and was well ahead of Carney's {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. He picked up some extra outs on the {7-}{6-}{4-}{5-} flop and turn, but Carney went broke after the {6-} river.

Now down to 18 remaining, the tournament staff have redrawn for seats at the final three tables of six.

Justin Brennan Eliminated in 20th Place ($3,206)

After Justin Brennan opened, Nachman Berlin came over the top with a three-bet.

Brennan four-bet shoved {a-}{q-} and Berlin snap called with {a-}{a-}. The board brought all bricks and while Brennan was eliminated in 20th, Berlin suddenly crested the 600k mark.

Louie Tomassi Eliminated in 21st Place ($3,206)

Moments after he sent Sammy Smith out the door, William Vogul eliminated Louie Tomassi in 21st place. Tomassi, the short stack to begin the day, moved all-in preflop on the button for 60,000. Vogul called from the big blind, and the race was under way:

Tomassi: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Vogul: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The flop: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Gin for Vogul. His broadway straight held up, and Tomassi took home $3,206.

Sammy Smith 22nd Place.

Sammy Smith never got any momentum going here on Day 2. After losing a massive pot to Husni Aga, Smith got the rest of his stack in with {J-}{10-} on a {8-}{7-}{7-} flop. William Vogul called with pocket tens and the turn and river didn't bring any help to Smith, who collects $2,869 for his two days of work..

Buck Ramsay Eliminated in 23rd ($2,869)

Despite going all in pre-flop and turning {k-}{10-} into a straight on the river, Buck Ramsay is out in 23rd.

Unfortunately for him, Tom Krol had called and turned pocket jacks into a boat on the {q-}{5-}{5-}{a-}{j-} board.

Facing a raise and a three-bet from Nachman Berlin, Andy Spears looked down at two eights and let fly with a four-bet shove.

The raiser folded, but Berlin called with {a-}{q-}. An ace on the flop and bricks the rest of the way spelled the end for Spears and Berlin now has a massive 470k stack.

Naing Bubbles

Bubble Boy Kyaw Naing.

After a Michael Mizrachi raise and a call from Lou Procopio, Robert "Hoss" Colao shipped it in.

Kyaw Naing re-shoved, Mizrachi re-re-shoved and after Procopio released, the hands were revealed:

Kyaw Naing: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Robert "Hoss" Colao: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Michael Mizrachi: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts} giving "The Grinder" and "Hoss" open-ended straight draws, which hit on the {7-Spades} turn and got even better after the {q-Hearts} river.

Naing was covered and had shockingly gone from chip leader to bubble boy in just a matter of minutes as Mizrachi and Colao chopped up his chips.

The 24 players remaining are now in the money and the next player out will receive $2,869 in prize money.
