Chris Klodnicki tweeted earlier today "I plan on doing some serious punting this Sunday." And he's certainly been active throughout Level 11, perhaps punting some chips, but punting players from the tournament, too.
Immediately following that big hand versus Richard Allen, Chris Klodnicki was getting himself involved in another big one again, this time versus Kevin McColgan.
This hand saw the pair battle to the river, building a modest-sized pot as the board came 
, then 
, then 
. On the river McColgan checked, and Klodnicki took his time before declaring he was all in.
McColgan tanked for a couple of minutes as he eyed his stack of approximately 120,000, a little less then what Klodnicki had bet. Finally McColgan called, and when Klodnicki tabled 
for the flush, McColgan mucked, having been eliminated.
"Can you start getting involved in some hands, sir?" asked William Tonking with a wry grin afterwards from across the table. Klodnicki just smiled and stacked his chips.

Following a 
flop, Ketan Pandya bet 3,700 (about two-thirds pot), Michael Jouaneh raised to 10,700, and after a bit of thought Pandya called. The turn then brought the 
and a big bet of 65,000 by Pandya, well over the 35,000 or so Jouaneh had left behind.
It was Jouaneh's turn to think. He sat quietly for a moment, tapping the half-golf ball he uses as a card protector as he thought. Finally after about a half-minute he shrugged and called all in, turning over 
. Pandya then tabled his 
, and after the 
river they split the chips.
"You're supposed to fold there," joked Pandya. Jouaneh shrugged some more in response, an expression of relief showing he was glad to have survived the hand.

Dmitri Argaros has joined the parade of players hitting the rail early this afternoon. His end just came in a hand that saw Brian Shaw open from under the gun, John Chapman call from a seat over, then Argaros shove all in from the button for about 29,000. The blinds folded and Shaw called, and after some thought Chapman stepped aside.
Shaw:
Argaros: 
A tough spot for Argaros, although after the 
flop and turn he had extra outs to chop. But the river was the 
, and Argaros is out.
