and that was one of the cards Anderson could use. He eliminated Gu and moved to 310,000 in chips.
Another One Bites the Dust - 10:35 PM
Tony Bolahood was down to just 11,300 when he moved it in from under the gun. The table folded all the way back around to Keven Stammen, and he wasn't even going to bother looking. He called, and everyone got to see his 
together as Balahood tabled the slightly-better 
.
It wasn't better for long. The flop brought a pair for Stammen, and the 
board was all she wrote for the short stack. Balahood is out in 32nd place, and Stammen finds a few extra chips to play with.
Carroll Hears the Bell - 10:37 PM
Down to just over 30,000, James Carroll open-shoved with 
. Next door, Kevin Dooley woke up with ace-jack and made the call, and Carroll was going to need some help to stick around. He would not find any from the dealer though, and a board full of blanks meant Dooley's ace-high was good enough for the knockout.
Just 30 players remain.
Axtman Chopped by Lee - 10:39 PM
On the flop of 
, Bruce Axtman checked to Chris Klodnicki. Klodnicki bet 12,700 and then Bernard Lee was next up. He took his time before firing in a raise to 32,300. Axtman thought for only a tiny bit of time before moving all in for approximately 65,000. Klodnicki folded and then Lee made the call.
Axtman turned up the 
for top pair and a straight draw. He was behind the set of jacks that Lee held with the

The turn brought the 
and that card didn't help Axtman. The river completed the board with the and Lee won the hand. Axtman was eliminated while Lee stacked up to 252,000 in chips.

Tamayo Eliminated - 11:00 PM
Curt Kohlberg opened with a raise from the hijack seat, and Jonathan Tamayo three-bet to 21,500 from the small blind. It was nearly half his stack, and Kohlberg set him all in for about 50,000 total. Tamayo called with the 
, and he would soon see that the news was not good. Kohlberg turned up his dominating , and the 
board did nothing to save Tamayo from extinction.
He's out, and Kohlberg has clawed his way up to 365,000.
Kohlberg Shoves on Adams - 11:07 PM

Baker Rises and Falls - 11:14 PM
In early position, David Baker opened to 8,000, and Dave Orvis thee-bet all in for 21,300. Baker quickly called, and his had his opponent's 
drawing slim for his survival.
There was no help from the dealer, either, as the board ran out 
to send him to the exit. Baker chipped up to about 450,000 thanks to that, but the chips would not stay with him for long.
On the next hand, Baker once again opened the pot, this time under the gun. Keven Stammen three-bet him, and Bakes went ahead and four-bet enough to put Stammen to the test. The call came, Stammen all in for 90,200 and flipping for his tournament life. He held 
, and “Bakes” was racing for the knockout with 
. Stammen's jacks ran faster, though, as the board came 
.
Put Stammen at about 185,000 now, while Baker takes a slide back to 360,000.
Levy Can't Close Out Schwartz - 11:29 PM
First in from the hijack seat, Adam Levy raised it up to 7,800. In the small blind, Jeremy Schwartz moved all in for 48,100, and Levy quickly called, turning up .
"Shit," Schwartz couldn't help himself. He sheepishly tabled , all in and in trouble.
Levy flopped his king, but Schwartz hit it harder. The first three cards off the deck were , and everyone at the table reacted to the come-from-behind trips. Levy needed one of the two-out kings, but the turn and river were and 
to keep Schwartz safe. He's doubled up to 100,000 now, knocking Levy down around 250,000.

to push Adams into a commanding lead. The ace on the turn paired the board and improved him to a full house, and Lubsy would need to make a bigger full house to stick around.
though, and Paredes' stack has been dented. Owens doubles up over 150,000, and the former chip leader takes a step back to a still-very-healthy 270,000.
river, and Austin wasn't slowing down now. He made it 18,100 to see a showdown, and that sent Shorr deep into the tank. He cut out the calling chips from his stack and assessed the potential damage. The call represented close to half of his 42,200 chips, and it would take a couple long minutes before Shorr surrendered his cards, electing to save that remainder for a better spot.
