Kevin Calenzo put in a raise preflop from middle position only to have Shiva Dudani move all in right behind him for a little less than 150,000. Action folded back to Calenzo who quickly called.

Dundani:

Dudani, who entered the event as the points leader on the WSOP-C National Leaderboard with 125 points, will be awarded 20 points for his performance in this tournament. This will bring his total to 145 points and with the next highest non-qualifier sitting with just 90 points, Dudani has likely attained a total that'll be good enough for a spot in the WSOP-C National Championship freeroll where he will have a chance to compete for a million dollars and a WSOP bracelet.
From early position, Drazen Ilich raised to 29,000. In the next seat, Charles "Woody" Moore reraised all in. Everyone folded back to Ilich and he may have had enough of all the pressure Moore was putting on him and he made the call.
Ilich held the best of it with the , but was in a race situation against the for Moore.
The board ran out and Moore hit a queen to steal the hand and knock Ilich from the tournament. Ilich finished in 16th place and that's good for $5,081. Moore skied to over one million in chips and keeps using the big stack to his ability.
After Tuan Bui Le folded from under the gun, Joel Merwick folded from the next seat, but when he slid his cards in a little too much force was applied. His cards flew across the table and one of them came in contact with Kris Bradshaw's cards in the big blind. It was ruled that because his hand was hit by one of Merwick's cards, the hand was dead. Just to check, Bradshaw checked what he thought were his original cards and then tossed them in as a dead hand and forfeited his big blind.
Action then folded to Dean Schultz in the cutoff seat and he moved all in for about 110,000. Garrett Utt reraised all in from the button and the two went to a showdown.
Utt:
Schultz:
The board ran out and Schultz was eliminated in 15th place. The kicker? Well, Bradshaw said he would have had ace-king suited if his hand was live. If he did, he'd probably have doubled up after rivering a broadway straight.

From the cutoff seat, Ilias Kellikidis moved all in for 187,000. Joel Merwick was in the small blind and tanked for a couple of minutes. He looked pained with his decision as the amount was for just about all of his own chips. After a bit though, Merwick mustered up a call. He held the and had Kellikidis' in bad shape.
The board ran out and Kellikidis was eliminated from the event at the hands of Merwick, who improved to about 470,000. Kellikidis took home over $6,000 for his finish in 14th place.
Another player just hit the rail right after Ilias Kellikidis went out. That player was Tuan Bui Le and he went out in 13th place at the hands of Mike Foster. If you read the updates a few minutes ago, Foster was all in for his own tournament life and doubled up after hitting a jack on the river against pocket sevens. This time, it was Foster who raised to 40,000 with the and Le who moved all in for 123,000 with the two overcards, .
