Pahuja Eliminated, Just 40 Remain
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
We're down to five tables of eight players after Mukul Pahuja was just knocked out in 41st place. Ami Barer raised from the button to 12,000 and it seemed like Pahuja had moved all in from the small blind. He was up against Tommy Vedes in the big blind as Barer folded from the button.

The minimum raise allowed was 72,000, so it was ruled that Kakhmazov had to add a few more chips. After he did, Smith began to think. Eventually, Smith reraised all in for around 215,000 or so. Kakhmazov quickly folded, and Smith won the pot.

land on the river. Schindler checked again, and Klodnicki fired a bet of 100,000 with a tall tower of blue T5,000 chips. Schindler tanked for a bit, and eventually folded, claiming to have "the best starting hand in hold'em." Klodnicki just smiled and collected the pot.
