Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
John Stempien was the chip leader for the majority of the day but couldn't get much going at the final table. He moved all in for his last 125,000 from under the gun and Howard Kitchie called from middle position. The rest of the table folded, and the cards were turned up.
Stempien: 
Kitchie: 
Stempien picked up some life on the 
flop but failed to improve the rest of the way. He picks up $1,846 for his 12 hours of work.

Maria Parlatore opened her button, Brett Short shoved from the small blind for 185,000 and Siavash Banai immediately announced all in behind. "I'm all out," said Parlatore as she tossed her cards into the muck.
Short: 
Banai: 
Once again Banai finished best as the 
board gave him two pair and the win. Banai has now matched his sixth-place finish from last night and will likely improve on it with his big stack in this event.
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
This was a wild one. John Stempien opened to 28,000 from early position, Art Demmerley called from directly behind and then Conrad St. Hilaire three-bet to 70,000. Siavash Banai then four-bet shoved for 144,000 from the big blind. Stempien folded and Demmerley reshoved. St. Hilaire paused briefly before announcing a call, having them all covered.
St. Hilaire:
Demmerley:
Banai: 
It looked like Hilaire was poised for the double knockout until the 
appeared in the window on the 
flop. Banai darted out of his seat in celebration, and the turn and 
river secured his triple up. St. Hilaire scooped the side pot and eliminated Demmerley in the process.
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
After losing most of his chips with 
to Siavash Banai's 
when the 
hit the river, Dave Grana got the last of them in with the against Mike Russell's 
. The 
runout gave Russell a full house, sending Grana to the rail in ninth place.

Ben Bracken opened to 25,000 from under the gun and got four callers, including John Stempien in middle position. The flop rolled out 
and Bracken fired 70,000. Stempien moved all in, the others got out of the way, and Ben called.
"If you have a set you win," Bracken said. But Stempien only had a draw — albeit a massive one.
Bracken:
Stempien: 
The 
on the turn gave Stempien even more outs with a pair, and the on the river paired Stempien again to send Ben B to the rail in 10th place.
