Scott and Oliveira Eliminated

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Just after Jason Scott exited in 22nd place, William Silva Oliveira shoved for 21,000 from middle position. Robert Elias mulled it over for a bit before he called from the big blind with {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, slightly trailing Oliveira's {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

The board came down {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, giving Elias a pair of tens to eliminate Oliveira in 21st place.

Guardarramas Doubles Through Warren

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Samuel Warren opened to 7,500 from the cutoff, Ernest Guardarramas three-bet to 15,000 from the big blind, and Warren called.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Guardarramas continued for 17,000. Warren called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Guardarramas checked to Warren who bets 35,000. Guardarramas check-raised all in for 53,000 and Warren called.

Warren: {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Guardarramas: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Both players had flush draws, but Guardarramas' was better with the ace-high variety. The river was the {8-Hearts} safe for Guardarramas to double up.

Cunha Jr. Takes the Lead

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With the board reading {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades} and about 40,000 in the pot, Joao Batista Cunha Jr. had raised all in from under the gun. Karl Schwing was in middle position with 21,000 committed post flop, and he tank called all in for about 90,000.

Cunha Jr.: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Schwing: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Cunha Jr. led with a seven-high straight and held up through the {9-Clubs} river to eliminate Schwing in 23rd place.

While that hand was going on, Joseph Montervino busted in 24th place at one of the other tables.

Joao Batista Cunha Jr. Ousts Ricky Guan

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Ricky Guan shoved his last 30,000-plus in over a limp and Joao Batista Cunha Jr. snap called in the big blind.

The limper folded and Joao Batista Cunha Jr. turned over the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}. Guan was ahead with the {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} but was gone after the {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} run out gave Cunha a bigger pair.

Campisi Ends Liriano

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

David Campisi started the day near the top of the counts and Ramon Liriano sat at the bottom.

The details escaped us, but the trend that created that situation appears to have continued with Liriano hitting the rail and Campisi moving up.

It looked like {a-}{10-} for Campisi and {k-}{q-} for Liriano, and the latter was ultimately defeated by a board featuring both a king and an ace.
