Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ramon Ziadeh opened to 25,000 in early position and received calls from Donnie Phan in the cutoff and Jason Ramos, who was on the button. Brent Phelps was in the big blind and re-shoved for 50,000, with all three players calling.

Action then checked through to showdown on a runout of {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

Brent Phelps: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Ramon Ziadeh: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Jason Ramos: {k-Spades}{8-Spades}
Donnie Phan: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Phelps' queens remained best and he suddenfly found himself with a lot more breathing than he had just a moment before as the bubble continues with 100 still remaining.

Thaddeus Foust was just knocked out of the tournament by Donnie Phan after getting the last of his chips into the middle preflop with {a-}{4-} against Phan's {a-}{k-}.

Foust flopped a four but was unable to fade a king on the turn, spelling his elimination.

"With a little luck I'd win the tournament every time," said Phan as he collected the pot from the favorable runout.

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Hunter Barnett opened the action with a raise to 17,000 in early position and was called by Swadeep Mishra in middle position. Tim Garles re-jammed for 41,000 and Barnett called, prompting Mishra to shove over the top for around 200,000. Barnett quickly folded, giving Garles a chance at a triple with just one opponent to beat.

Tim Garles: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Swadeep Mishra: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Garles' kings held through the runout {4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and the triple was shipped his way. Meanwhile, Matt Johnson was just eliminated from another table to bring the tournament one closer to the money, with 102 now remaining.

The river produced an {8-Clubs} and the big blind checked once more before Sailor fired 26,000. After brief contemplation the big blind called.

Blake Whittington on Day 1
Blake Whittington on Day 1

Donnie Phan saw action fold to him on the button and opened to 17,000. Blake Whittington re-jammed in the small blind for 103,000 and Abbas Pasha came over the top for a bit more than 300,000. Phan went into the tank for about half a minute before mentioning having the clock called on him.

Tablemate Ramon Ziadeh asked him if he wanted the clock called on him and he affirmed, so Ziadeh called the clock. Tournament Director Jeremy Smith then came over and asked the dealer if Phan had had enough time to act, to which the dealer said he did not.

"He did not?!" asked Smith. A quick discussion sorted out the haps, with Smith understanding that Phan had brought about the situation in the first place.

"Do you want a clock called on you?" After a couple of moments, Phan said he did and Smith gave him 30 seconds to act. Phan then folded two queens face-up.

Blake Whittington: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Abbas Pasha: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

A jack appeared on the flop {2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to leave Whittington with nothing but a few backdoors to stay alive. Running {6-Hearts}{q-Clubs} completed the board and Whittington was eliminated from the tournament by Pasha's set. Eric Phillip and Anthony Knepper were also recently eliminated, bringing the field down to 114.
