Jacob Davis Eliminated in 10th Place ($7,837)

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Jacob Davis
Jacob Davis

Brandon Frazier opened to 420,000 from middle position only to see Jacob Davis move all in for 2,100,000 in the cutoff. Isiah Ditoto then re-jammed on the button and the blinds and Frazier got out of the way.

Jacob Davis: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Isiah Ditoto: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Davis was in rough shape, especially as Frazier told the table he had folded ace-king. The {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop changed nothing but the {a-Hearts} turn suddenly vaulted Davis into a large lead. The table let out a collective gasp as the {k-Diamonds}, the case king, rolled off the deck on the river to send Davis out in 10th place.

Action folded around to Robert Fikac in the small blind who moved all in and was snapped off by Isiah Ditoto in the big blind.

Robert Fikac: {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Isiah Ditoto: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Fikac was marginally behind but pulled into the lead following the {7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop. The {6-Spades} turn was a dagger blow, however, with the {10-Clubs} river sealing Fikac's fate. Elsewhere, Tom Northern, James Kim and David Lee were eliminated.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Thomas Perkins
Thomas Perkins

Chris Harrell opened to 300,000 from middle position and Thomas Perkins moved all in from late position. Action folded back around to Harrell who quickly called with the larger stack.

Thomas Perkins: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Chris Harrell: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Harrell was way ahead and Perkins had one foot out of the door following the {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. The {3-Clubs} turn and {j-Spades} river did not change matters, sending Perkins to the rail in 16th place. Earlier, Besnik Biberaj was seen heading to the exits and just after Perkins' bustout, Ryan Kirkpatrick was eliminated in 15th place.

'I'm crushed' remarked Martin before the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} to send him out in 18th place. Elsewhere, Joshua Sechman was seen heading to the payout desk.

Frankie Greever moved all in from early position and was called by Sheldon Poe one seat over. The remaining players got out of the way and Greever was officially at risk.

Frankie Greever: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}
Sheldon Poe: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Greever, though behind, did have two live cards but failed to hit on the {6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} runout, sending him to the exits in 20th place. A few minutes before Greever's elimination, Alex Britton was seen exiting the tournament area.

David Lee Strikes Gold

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
David Lee
David Lee

As players were leaving for the dinner break, David Lee decided to redeem one of his mystery bounty tickets. Lee had already locked up $20,000 by drawing two of the three $10,000 bounties earlier in the day. Lady luck appears to be smiling down on Lee today as he somehow managed to pull the $25,000 top bounty to bring his total up to $45,000.

Hunter Jenkins Eliminated in 22nd Place ($3,123)

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Hunter Jenkins
Hunter Jenkins

Thomas Perkins opened to 200,000 from under the gun and was called by Hunter Jenkins one seat over as well as David Lee in middle position and Chris Harrell out of the big blind.

Both Harrell and Perkins checked on a flop of {5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} prompting Jenkins to move all in for around 1,500,000. Lee thought for some time before re-jamming as Harrell and Perkins quickly folded.

Hunter Jenkins: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
David Lee: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Jenkins was way behind and left drawing dead following the {3-Spades} turn. The {10-Diamonds} river was a mere formality as Jenkins headed towards the payout desk.

Martin Scores Double Knockout

Level 21 : Blinds 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Mark Martin
Mark Martin

A player opened to 50,000 from early position before a player in middle position moved all in. Action then folded around to Mark Martin on the button and he opted to re-jam his large stack. The small blind called off for their tournament life while the original raiser folded to setup a three-way all in.

Small Blind Player: {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Middle Position Player: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Mark Martin: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Martin held a commanding lead over both of his opponents and was in a decent position to get the double knockout and two mystery bounty tickets. Nothing changed on the {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop or the {5-Clubs} turn with the {7-Spades} river completing a clean runout for the pocket rockets.

Petro Ousts Kachittavong

Soukha Kachittavong
Soukha Kachittavong

Soukha Kachittavong opened to 40,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 100,000 by Morgan Petro one seat over. Action folded back around to Kachittavong, who decided to call.

Kachittavong checked to Petro on a flop of {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and he continued for 80,000. After some thought, Kachittavong opted to call.

The {8-Clubs} turn put four to a straight as well as a flush on the board but that did not seem to bother Kachittavong as he moved all in. Petro instantly called with the covering stack to put Kachittavong at risk.

Soukha Kachittavong: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Morgan Petro: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Kachittavong was drawing dead to a chop but found no help on the {10-Spades} river to bring his tournament to a close. Petro, meanwhile, is now among the chip leaders thanks to the large pot.

Nbatu Cuts Down Britton

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Emmanuel Nbatu
Emmanuel Nbatu

Picking up the action on the flop with the board reading {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, Alex Britton in late position had a bet of 150,000 in front of him and was facing an all in for around 400,000 from Emmanuel Nbatu in middle position. Nbatu's jam sent Britton deep into the tank but eventually he decided to call with the covering stack to put Nbatu at risk.

Emmanuel Nbatu: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Alex Britton: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Nbatu had outflopped Britton's jacks and was in excellent position to take down a massive pot. The {2-Hearts} turn changed nothing with the {k-Diamonds} river securing the win for Nbatu.
