Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nicolas Santos was all in for about 66,000 and at risk against Ermo Kosk.

Nicolas Santos: A♣10♥
Ermo Kosk: A♦K♥

The J♣3♠3♦ flop brought chop possibilities, but the K♣ turn left Santos drawing to Broadway, and the 5♠ river sent him to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action folded to Stephen Kehoe who raised to 34,000, leaving himself only 6,000 behind. Chris Brewer jammed for a little over 200,000 and when action folded back to Kehoe, he called off to set up a runout and put himself at risk.

Stephen Kehoe: K♠5♠
Chris Brewer: Q♦Q♠

The board ran out 4♠6♠9♣3♥A♥, keeping Brewer firmly in the lead through five cards and sending Kehoe to the exit just shy of the money.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

John Armbrust raised to 60,000 under the gun and Dan Cates called in the big blind.

The dealer spread the K♣6♣5♥ flop and Cates checked. Armbrust bet enough to cover, and Cates called all in for 46,000.

Dan Cates: A♥Q♠
John Armbrust: J♦J♣

The 10♥ turn gave "Jungleman" a couple more outs, but the 2♥ river bricked out, and Cates was eliminated just short of the money.

Chris Land

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

In a hand where Charles Gomez was all-in for his final 13,000 from the big blind, action folded around to Barry Hutter who tossed in the additional 3,000 without looking at his cards to set up a runout on the stone bubble with Gomez at risk.

Charles Gomez: 9♦4♠
Barry Hutter: 8♠3♦

For being forced all-in blind, Gomez turned up a nine-high holding that was actually ahead going to the flop, but when it came 3♥3♠Q♣, Hutter essentially had flopped Gomez dead.

The K♦ on the turn meant Gomez was a lock to finish on the stone bubble and when the K♣ river card made it official, Gomez would exit the tournament one spot off the money as the other 47 remaining players began racking their chips to join the start of the Day 2 session.
