Upeshka De Silva Eliminated

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

From the hijack, Upeshka De Silva was all in for his last 52,000 with {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}. Ramon Miquel Munoz had called with {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}. As onlookers gathered and the floor came over to do the announcement, the dealer got underway with a flop: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

After the {6-Spades} on the turn, De Silva shouted "Seven!" at the top of his lungs.

Another loud "Seven!" was heard but to no avail, the river was the {J-Hearts} and Desilva was eliminated three spots off the money.

Break Two Off the Money

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

With all four players surviving their all in, the hands on all tables were completed and the remaining 249 players were sent into their first 30-minute break of the day. Action will resume hand-for-hand two off the money.

Bowker Takes a Hit

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

One hand was to be played in the previous blind level still when everyone was back in their seats and there was just one all in and call. The vast majority of the stack of Philippe D'Auteuil was already in the middle by the time the flop showed {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} and the Canadian was at risk for another 23,000 only. Kyle Bowker called and the cards were tabled when all other tables were finished.

Philippe D'Auteuil: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Kyle Bowker: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The {K-Diamonds} turn and {9-Hearts} river changed nothing and D'Auteuil doubled.
