Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Steve Anderson opened for 2,400 and received calls from Leon Gao and Jason Sell in the small and big blinds respectively. Two checks on the 
flop saw Anderson move all in for 16,125, and Gao made the call. Sell then thought for a minute before moving all in over the top for 38,175 total, and Gao thought long and hard before making the call.
Sell: 
Anderson: 
Gao: 
Anderson held the best hand with kings, but both his opponents held flush draws. Of course Gao held the best flush draw, but Sell had an open-ended straight draw to fall back on. The dealer burned and turned the 
, which gave Gao the flush and left both his opponents drawing dead. The meaningless 
was put out on the river for good measure, and Gao was pushed the massive pot.
Meanwhile, Sel and Anderson have opted to reenter the tournament.

We missed the action unfold, but we do know two short stacks got their chips all in preflop and were up against World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner Chad Graves.
Graves: 
Short Stack #1: 
Short Stack #2: 
All three players held an ace, which meant it came down to the kicker. Graves was best in that department, and he held after the board ran out a safe 
.

We saw a somber-looking Paul Ranola walking past out desk, and he was kind enough to confirm that he had been eliminated from the tournament.
"I ran queens into kings," the family man explained. Ranola qualified for this event in this morning's $250 qualifier, so at least he's not out the full $1,100 buy-in. Onto the next one for the family man from Madison, Wisconsin.

Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
We picked up the action on a 
flop when the under-the-gun player checked and Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon bet 2,250 from the cutoff. His opponent called and then checked after the dealer burned and turned the 
. Kroon took the opportunity to bet 4,075, and his opponent thought for a bit before moving all in for a bit over 10,000. Kroon snap-called.
Kroon:
Opponent: 
Kroon had his opponent's nines dominated with two pair, and all he needed to do was dodge a nine on the river to score the elimination. That's just what he did as the 
peeled off.

: 300/600, 75 ante
With around 6,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, the player in the small blind checked and Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon bet 2,750 from the big. Ross Obbink called from the hijack, the small blind folded, and it was heads-up action to the river, a card we actually missed.
Kroon kept the pressure on with a bet of 2,950, and Obbink called. Kroon rolled over the for a pair of kings, and it was good as Obbink held an inferior pair with the 
.
Meanwhile, Kroon's good friend, Mike "Wisco" Murray, has been eliminated from the tournament.
