Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Justin Carey raised to 32,000 in middle position and Dennis O'Hare called on his left. Jordan Fishman came along in the small blind before Ron Scott slid out a three-bet to 75,000 in the big blind.
Carey and Fishman called to see the Q♦6♦J♠ flop. Fishman checked and Scott continued for 100,000.
After taking some time, Carey announced all in for around 480,000. O'Hair quickly folded and Fishman asked for a rough count before sliding his cards into the muck.
Scott frustratingly moved his cards forward, folding as well as Carey raked in a sizeable pot.

Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
On a flop of 10♠9♠3♦, Rob Garrett checked and Adam Johnson put out a bet. Garrett then sprung to life with an all-in check-raise to about 180,000 and Johnson hit the tank long and hard. Eventually he tossed in a call.
Rob Garrett: Q♣J♣ 
Adam Johnson: K♦Q♠
Johnson's hero call saw him get the chips in good, but Garrett did have an up-and-down straight draw. Unfortunately for him, both the turn and river were bricks to send Garrett out of the tournament in 17th place.

Mike LaMontagne raised to 25,000 from early position and snap-called after Glen Thompson moved all in for around 120,000 from the small blind.
Glen Thompson: K♠K♦
Mike LaMontagne: A♠A♥
It was the ultimate cooler and Thompson was on the bad end of it. He was looking to get lucky but that didn't happen as the board ran out a lackluster 7♣4♠Q♠3♠10♣ to send him out the door in 18th place.

Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The final 18 players have redrawn down to two tables and have been sent on their final 10-minute break of the night. When they return, the plan is to play down to either the final table or until 1 a.m. local time, whichever comes first.
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Rob Guilbeault found himself all in for around 140,000 and at risk against Sam Journeay, who had a stack of approximately 200,000.
Rob Guilbeault: 7♠7♥
Sam Journeay: 10♠10♦
Guilbeault was in dire straits and watched as the board ran out 6♠Q♠A♠A♣4♠. Both players made a spade flush but Journeay's was best to send Guilbeault out in 19th place.
The remaining 18 players will now redraw down to the final two tables.
