Nan Chen Eliminated in 11th Place ($3,275)

Erick Torres

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

Nan Chen got it started with a limp from the button before Maksim Tatarintsev raised to 150,000 from the big blind. Chen re-raised to 350,000 before Tatrintsev jammed. Chen made the call to put himself at risk in a big pot.

Nan Chen: A♣7♥ All in
Maksim Tatarintsev: K♥K♠

Chen was well behind the pocket kings of Tatarintsev as they went to a runout.

The flop of 9♥Q♣8♦ did not improve Chen, but the 10♦ turn gave Chen some more outs to a lower straight.

The 2♠ river was not one of those outs as Chen was sent to the rail in 11th place.

Chen earned $3,275 for his effort.

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

Anastasiia Knapp opted to go all-in for 275,000 from under the gun and was called in the next seat over by Jeff Burquist to be at risk for her tournament life.

Anastasiia Knapp: A♠J♠ All in
Jeff Burquist: J♣J♦

Knapp flopped a flush draw when it came 6♠5♣9♠ to add some intrigue.

The J♥ turn was an unwelcome sight for Knapp, and the river was the right color, but the wrong suit, as it came the 3♣ to complete the board.

Knapp earned $3,275 for her 12th-place finish.

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

Barbara Lanese opened the action with a shove for 180,000 from the cutoff.

Christopher Black gave it considerable thought before he made the call in the small blind. Jose Medina woke up with a hand in the big blind and jammed against Black.

Black called off to put himself at risk in a three-way all-in pot.

Barbara Lanese: K♥K♦ All in
Christopher Black: A♠8♣ All in
Jose Medina: Q♠Q♥

Lanese held the light over Black and Medina. Black paired the flop, but it was not enough to take the lead as the flop fanned out 10♣2♦8♥.

The 7♣ turn and the 9♦ river kept Lanese in the lead as she tripled while Black was eliminated by the pocket queens of Medina.

Black earned $2,787 for his 13th-place finish.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Eduardo Parra (MX): 6♠6♦ All in
Anastasiia Knapp: A♦K♣

It was a flip, but the flop gave Knapp more outs as it came J♦Q♥5♣.

The A♥ turn improved Knapp to a better pair, and the 9♥ river was unable to save Parra, who exited in 14th place.

Parra earned $2,787 for his effort.

Perry Chou: A♣K♥ All in
Maksim Tatarintsev: 8♥8♣

The flop did little to help Chou when it fanned out 6♥J♦5♥, but the Q♣ turn offered some help as Chou gained some straight outs to go with his overcards.

The 2♠ was a brick to eliminate Chou in 15th place.
