Dropping Out

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Dietrich Kuhlmann, William Ho and Jonathan Jones are all out after getting it in preflop.

Kuhlmann missed with big slick against nines, Ho shoved queen-high and was beaten by ace-ten, and Jones lost with a dominating ace when Matt Heiligenthaler paired his nine kicker.

They are now down to 12 playing at two six-handed tables.

Allott Misses

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Mark Allott
Mark Allott

Mark Allott's luck has finally run out.

He got it in with a flush draw versus Leo Kaplin's set, and for the first time in recent memory, did not hit the miracle card he needed to stay alive.

And then there were 11.

Dicamillo Out; One Table of Ten Remains; Dinner Break

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Dicamillo got it in with the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} and was looked up by Matt Heiligenthaler on the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

The board ran out {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Spades} and although Dicamillo paired his king, it made Heiligenthaler a straight.

With that, a final table of ten is set and they'll drop the stacks at the seats before heading off on a 45-minute dinner break. Play will resume at 8 p.m. local time in Niagara Falls.

Heiligenthaler Counterfeits Fluder

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Matt Heiligenthaler continues to crush.

He just picked up aces, and called bets from John Fluder on two streets before firing out a big bet of his own on the river.

Fluder called, having flopped two pair, but was disappointed to see he was counterfeited when the river paired the board as well.
