Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
The board read 
and Francois Cholette led for 400,000. Zachary Deneen shoved all in for about 1,500,000 and Cholette took a moment before he flicked out a single chip to call.
He tabled 
for two pair, which was ahead of the 
of Deneen. The board completed and Deneen couldn't catch up. Shortly, after this hand, Deneen was eliminated. Cholette on the other hand, jumped near the top of the chip counts heading into the last hour of play.

Kegan Cummings Eliminates Anoop Jugurnath
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Kegan Cummings just eliminated Anoop Jugurnath and Jugurnath wasn't terribly excited about how it went down. The two were heads up to the 
flop and Cummings bet about 125,000. Jugurnath shoved all in and Cummings thought for a moment. He called.
When he showed 
, Jugurnath threw up his hands slightly.
"You could have had ace king," Cummings said, "I'm not trying to slow roll you."
The chips were counted and Cummings had Jugurnath covered. Jugurnath turned to the tournament clock to check his finish.
"Ninety one," he said referecing the number of players left indicated by the tournament clock.
