John Caldwell Eliminated in 11th Place ($3,744)

Kirk Brown

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Short-stacked John Caldwell moved all in preflop and was called by Derrick Yamada to put him at risk.

John Caldwell: J♦3♣
Derrick Yamada: Q♣10♣

The flop of K♠J♣J♥ gave Caldwell the lead with trip jacks, but Yamada was still open-ended and the turn 6♣ further improved him to a flush draw.

Of course, the river was the A♣, giving Yamada both the straight and the flush to take down the pot, sending Caldwell to the rail in 11th place.

Johnny Groat Eliminated in 12th Place ($3,744)

Kirk Brown

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action was missed on the hand, but Johnny Groat moved all in preflop with Ax3x and was quickly called off by Edward Liu with AxAx.

The runout failed to provide Groat with a double and he was therefore eliminated in 12th place for $3,744.

Bob Hoag Eliminated in 13th Place

Kirk Brown

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a flop of 3♠Q♥4♥, Kenneth Douglas led out for 75,000 but then Bob Hoag moved all in for 435,000 total.

Douglas then went into the tank for a bit but eventually decided to make the call, putting Hoag at risk.

Bob Hoag: K♥Q♣
Kenneth Douglas :A♥8♥

Hoag was in the lead with his top pair, but still had to fade any heart to stay alive. The turn 9♦ was a safe card, but the 6♥ on the river spelled disaster for him and he was sent to the rail in 13th place while Douglas took a dominant chip lead.

Mark Feinberg Eliminated in 14th Place ($3,151)

Kirk Brown

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After checking through the heads-up flop of J♠Q♥2♦, Mark Feinberg bet 80,000 on the turn 2♠ and was called by Luis Pedro.

When the river fell the 6♥, Feinberg moved all in for around 190,000 but Pedro quickly called to put him at risk and tabled K♥K♠.

"Yep, that was the only way I was gonna win that hand," Feinberg sighed as he flipped over 9♠5♠ for just nine-high and he was sent to the rail in 14th place.

Jesus Rosales Eliminated in 15th Place ($3,151)

Kirk Brown

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jesus Rosales moved all in preflop and was called by recently-made big stack Edward Liu to put him at risk of elimination.

Jesus Rosales: Q♥J♥
Edward Liu: A♥Q♦

Rosales would need some help to stay alive, but unfortunately, the runout of 7♠K♠5♠2♥4♦ did him no favors and he exited in 15th while Liu raked in the pot with his ace-high.

Curt Kohlberg Eliminated in 16th Place ($2,579)

Kirk Brown

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

After an all-out betting war on a flop of 2♣3♠A♥, all of the chips between Curt Kohlberg, Edward Liu, and Michael Holmes found their way into the middle, with Holmes covering.

Curt Kohlberg: 4♣5♥
Edward Liu: 3♥3♦
Michael Holmes: A♦J♥

Kohlberg flopped the best of it with the wheel straight, but the runout of 10♥A♠ gave Liu a full house on the river and he scooped the huge pot while Kohlberg was sent to the payout desk in 16th place.

England Falls to Douglas

Kirk Brown

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The complete action was missed on the hand, but Kyna England moved all in preflop with AxQx and was called by Kenneth Douglas with KxKx to put her at risk.

The board did not provide any help to England and her stack of around 265,000 was shipped over to Douglas to further pad his chip lead while she hit the rail.
