Three Players Eliminated
Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
We were just absent from the tournament floor for a couple of minutes to write an update, but when we came back there were three players missing.
Isaac Haxton had shoved his last 26,000 under the gun with 
. His neighbor Jack Salter called with 
and that hand held up to eliminate Haxton.
One table over Adrian Mateos told us that he had taken most of Justin Bonomo's chips. Mateos had opened the button and Bonomo had defended his big blind. Both checked 
with two spades and a heart and the 
hit the turn. Bonomo bet 16,000 and Mateos called. The river was a and Bonomo bet 46,000 with 1,000 behind. Mateos shoved and Bonomo folded. His last 1,000 he lost not much later.
Pablo Fernandez also hit the rail, though we're unsure what had happened to him. Charlie Carrel seemed to have his chips but was in a conversation with Nick Petrangelo so we didn't bother him for the details.
