Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Roy Kim has been dominating the table on his way to a stack of 800,000, but he decided to sit out this hand and folded under the gun.

"Yay! He finally folded! Does that mean someone else gets to play, finally?" tablemate Lee Sommers said as the table erupted in celebration.

William Beer then limped in from the hijack and Louis Bailey called in the small blind. Alex Bako moved all in for 39,000 in the big blind, and only Beer called.

Alex Bako: A♦Q♠ All in
William Beer: A♠5♣

The board ran out J♠7♠7♣4♣7♥ and both players took back their chips for a chop pot. The dealer was already shuffling for the next hand when it was pointed out that Bako's queen-kicker was actually playing, and Beer finally handed over the chips.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Arash Asadabadi moved all in for 85,000 from the big blind and Aaron Pinson called in the hijack.

Arash Asadabadi: Q♠Q♦ All in
Aaron Pinson: J♦J♣

Asadabadi had Pinson dominated with his queens, but the J♥5♣K♥ flop gave Pinson the lead with a set. Asadabadi was at risk of busting on the bubble until the Q♠ fell on the turn to give him his own set. The river was the 8♠ and Asadabadi doubled up.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Much of the field had spent the last level more closely following the extra-innings Game 7 on the screens around the room as the Dodgers finally won the World Series.

"Congratulations to the Dodgers. Now let's congratulate the baggers," the tournament official said.

Kai Nicholls then raised to 20,000 under the gun and Alan Gendelman moved all in for 130,000 in middle position. Nicholls tanked for several minutes but eventually called to put Gendelman at risk.

Alan Gendelman: K♠K♦ All in
Kai Nicholls: A♦9♦

Gendelman needed to avoid an ace to stay alive on the bubble, and he dodged the Q♠10♠5♦10♣6♥ board to earn the double up.

Alexander Wiggins raised to 18,000 in the cutoff and Kai Nicholls and Yaser Al-Keliddar called in the blinds.

The flop came 8♦3♥10♦ and Wiggins continued for 30,000. Nicholls called, but Al-Keliddar moved all in for 105,000. Wiggins called, and Nicholls took a minute before also callling for 210,000.

Yaser Al-Keliddar: 10♣7♣ All in
Kai Nicholls: Q♠Q♥ All in
Alexander Wiggins: 10♥9♦

Nicholls was ahead with his queens, but Wiggins hit two pair on the 9♣ to take the lead. The river was the 8♥ and Nicholls made queens and eights to scoop the pot, earning a double off Wiggins while sending Al-Keliddar to the rail.

With 18 players remaining, action is going hand-for-hand until there is one more elimination.
