In Level 22 with blinds of 4,000/8,000 and an ante of 1,000, "RiverMan" has just eliminated "BlckJck" fro the tournament. Moments earlier, "mamoosh" was also knocked out, and the pair of eliminations brings the field down to 22. Two eliminations are now needed for play to reach the money, and hand-for-hand play is in effect across the three remaining tables until that feat is accomplished.

One such player who just staved off elimination is "l23weeeeeeee", who simultaneously found a double with pocket queens to the pocket eights of Ryan "TheSims" Hohner as hand-for-hand play began.
