Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with a big pot brewing between Brandon Wilson and Shannon Shorr.

With the board showing 5♣5♥4♣6♥ Shorr bet out 40,000 before Wilson raised to 130,000. Shorr made the call.

The river brought the J♣, and once Shorr checked, Wilson bet out 225,000. Shorr took his time, before announcing a raise to 616,000.

Wilson then went deep into the tank, using his final four time extensions. As the clock continued to tick, and his hand close to being dead, Wilson tossed a handful of chips in the middle to make the call.

Shorr turned over 7♠6♠ for just a pair of sixes, but Wilson tabled the winner with 7♥5♠ to take the biggest pot of the night with trip fives.

A few moments later Shorr was eliminated. At another table Michael Wang and Jeremy Becker were seen leaving the studio after being eliminated.

Smith Sweats a Good One

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Clemen Deng on the button, who moved all in for 120,000. When it folded Dan Smith in the big blind he looked at his cards, peeling one at a time.

"First one is good" said Smith, before peeling the other card, and pushing his chips forward to call, and put Deng at risk.

Clemen Deng: K♣J♥ All in
Dan Smith: A♥10♠

It was a fair fight, but Deng could not improve on the 4♠9♥3♣8♦7♥ runout and was eliminated by Smith.
