Lyle Bateman

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The tournament clock is reading just 72 players remaining now, and the action has been so fast its been hard to keep up with the bustouts. However, a few notable faces have already left the room, including 2017 Champion Trevor Norlander, who came into Day 2 with a short stack, as well as Casey Nicole, who won't be able to celebrate her birthday tomorrow with SIGA winnings.

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a hand heard across the tournament room, Carlos Prevost knocked a player out with something of a bad beat. Prevost was in with king-ten and dominated against the ace-ten of his shorter stacked opponent. The entire poker room heard about when the king hit however, as he yelled in triumph as he scooped the pot.

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Brian Borsheim elected to shove his remaining 50,500 and it folded around to Jim Loudon on the button. He flat called, and after a few seconds of thought, the players in the blinds mucked their hands.

Borsheim was in rough shape with against the big slick in clubs for Loudon. There was a bit of diamond sweat on the board, but in the end, Loudon's hand held and Borsheim was out.

With the field down to 61 players, that means there are just ten more eliminations before everyone is in the money. A minimum cash is worth $1,253, but everyone has their sights set on the top prize of $45,769 plus the bracelet and a ticket to the 2020 WSOP Main Event.

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The player under the gun shoved his small stack of 54,000, and it folded around to Lyndon Knutson in the cutoff. He went into the tank for a bit before making the call, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

I was a race situation with the all-in player announcing "Gretzky" and showing the against the overs of Knutson. When the board of was out, Knutson won the race.
