In Level 20 with blinds of 6,000/12,000 and an ante of 1,500, "Meinhard1988" opened to 36,000 in the cutoff and "Musclewhale89" three-bet shoved for 78,000. "Meinhard1988" called.

"Musclewhale89": {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
"Meinhard1988": {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

"Musclewhale89" was able to fade a ten as the board ran out {7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, and they doubled with aces up to bring their stack to 179,000. Meanwhile, "Meinhard1988" now finds themselves with a stack of eight big blinds, and is now the shortest stack of the 12 that remain, as "TARA96" and "johnpaggi" were both recently eliminated.

Chip Counts on Break

Just 13 remain on break with a couple of minutes left in Level 19 (5,000/10,000/1,250) as "DirtyJerzey" was eliminated shortly after losing a coin flip to double "Meinhard1988" in 15th place. Their elimination was shortly followed by that of "johnpaggi."

"high-card" has risen to the top of the counts by a wide margin with a stack of 983,000, even surpassing 1 million for a short moment. "POKERDORMS" is next-closest with 461,000, less than half of the chip leader's. Chip stacks for all 13 players that remain have provided below.

In Level 19 with blinds of "DirtyJerzey" opened to 25,000 in middle position and received a call from "Barrettwins," who was in the cutoff. "Meinhard1988" was next to act on the button and "squeezed," three-bet jamming for 113,000. Only "DirtyJerzey" called.

"Meinhard1988": {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
"DirtyJerzey": {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

"Meinhard1988" was in a coni flip for their tournament life and the flop {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds} gave them a set. However, they still needed to fade eight outs as "DirtyJerzey" flopped an open-ended nut-straight draw. The only further improvement "DirtyJerzey" would get, however, would be a pair on the turn {q-Diamonds}, which would be followed by a safe river {7-Spades} for "Meinhard1988," who saw the pot of 276,000 shipped their way.

In Level 18 with blinds of 4,000/8,000 and an ante of 1,000, all of the chips got into the middle preflop between "POKERDORMS" in the hijack and "phillychzsteak1," who was in the small blind and at risk for their tournament life.

"phillychzsteak1": {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
"POKERDORMS": {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

"phillychzsteak1" was unable to find an ace or a ten on the flop {2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, but picked up backdoor outs to the nut flush, Broadway, and a wheel. All of those backdoor outs faded on the turn {5-Spades}, leaving them right back where they started. The river came {k-Hearts} to leave their hand second best and they were eliminated from the tournament.

Moments earlier, both "Dostella" and "tightfish" were also eliminated. "DirtyJerzey" was also eliminated shortly after this hand, and 14 players now remain.

Hand #1: In Level 17 with blinds of 3,500/7,500 and an ante of 875, "gorillagolf" opened to 28,000 in middle position and "Meinhard1988" called in the small blind. The flop fell {6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and "Meinhard1988" checked. "gorillagolf" shoved for 93,000 and "Meinhard1988" called.

"gorillagolf": {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
"Meinhard1988": {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

"Meinhard1988" needed a seven or running hearts and both chances stayed alive on the turn {k-Hearts}. However, "gorillagolf" would be the one to hit running cards as the river {k-Diamonds} further improved them to a full house, doubling in style against "Meinhard1988."

Hand #2: On an adjacent table, "under_where00" jammed under the gun for 36,000 and "POKERDORMS" re-jammed for 195,000 in the hijack to isolate all remaining players out of the pot.

"under_where00": {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
"POKERDORMS": {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Despite having live cards, no help came for "under_where00" as the board ran out {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts} to result in their elimination from the tournament.

Moments earlier, "SNARKNADO" was also eliminated from the tournament. The two eliminations brings the number of players left in the field down to 18, and just two tables now remain.

In Level 16 with blinds of 3,000/6,000 and an ante of 750, action folded around to "JoePokerNJ7077" in the hijack, who jammed for 54,800. "DirtyJerzey" was next to act in the cutoff and thought for a few moments before electing to click the call button. All remaining players folded.

"JoePokerNJ7077": {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
"DirtyJerzey": {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

"JoePokerNJ7077" stayed out in front for both the flop {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and turn {9-Hearts}. Unfortunately for them, the river {j-Spades} gave their opponent a better two pair and resulted in their elimination from the tournament in 23rd place.

Moments later, "TpocketT" got all in against "Meinhard1988" and flopped two pair with {k-}{10-}. Unfortunately for them, "Meinhard1988" made a flush on the river with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and knocked out "TpocketT" in 22nd place.

With the two players' eliminations, 21 players now remain, all of whom have reached the money.

In Level 16 with blinds of 3,000/6,000 and an ante of 750, "JMPoker" shoved for 54,000 in middle position and was called by "johnpaggi" in the small blind.

"JMPoker": {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
"johnpaggi": {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

A jack came on the river on a runout of {4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{j-Spades}, but it proved to give "johnpaggi" the nuts to eliminated "JMPoker" from the tournament.

Moments earlier, "goods21" was eliminated on an adjacent table, bringing the number of players down to 23. As a result, hand-for-hand play has officially begun across the three remaining tables until two more players are eliminated in order to burst the bubble.

In Level 15 with blinds of 2,500/5,000 and an ante of 625, a blind-on-blind battle between "goods21" and "theGrat3fulDeaD" saw all of the chips go into the middle by the river on a board of {7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}. "goods21" was in the small blind and had just 1,400 more than "theGrat3fulDead," who was all in in the big blind.

"theGrat3fulDeaD": {6-Spades}{4-Spades}
"goods21": {j-Spades}{8-Spades}

Both players hit a flush on the river, much to the misfortune of "theGrat3fulDeaD," who saw the pot of 115,000 shipped one seat to their right as they became the 26th-place finisher in the tournament.

In Level 14 with blinds of 2,000/4,000 and an ante of 500, "Musclewhale89" got their last 28,000 into the middle preflop in early position and received action from "SenorAlto" in middle position and "JMPoker," who was in the cutoff.

With the latter two competing for a potential side pot, the flop fell {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. "SenorAlto" shoved for 58,500 and "JMPoker" folded.

"Musclewhale": {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
"SenorAlto": {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

"Musclewhale" flopped the nut boat and only needed to fade running aces to earn the triple. The turn {k-Clubs} ensured such a runout would not happen, and the river {4-Spades} made the hand official. The pot was shipped their way, bringing their stack up to 94,800 in the process.

Meanwhile, "gracyaces" was eliminated by "RGAx732x," who has now taken the chip lead with a stack of 559,000 as 26 players remain.
