Andrew Hulme Eliminated in 18th Place (£10,200)
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Andrew Hulme is the first casualty of the day. Fans of Hulme can blame Billy Chattaway.
Chi Zhang opened the action with a bet of 35,000 from under the gun, Chattaway called from two seats away from Zhang, and Hulme moved all-in for 289,000. Joe Townsend looked to be considering call, but folded. Zhang also folded but Chattaway called.
Chattaway: 
Hulme: 
The five community cards ran 
and Hulme exited the tournament area.
Townsend said he had pocket nines and would have flopped a set.
