Narinder Khasria opened to 10,600 in early position, and Brian Green three-bet to 35,000 right next door. When it came back to Khasria, he wasted no time four-betting to 91,600 total, and that move sent Green deep into the tank. "Big, huh?" he asked right away, drawing no response from his opponent. It would be several long minutes of tank time before Green showed Khasria his and sent them into the muck.
Khasria didn't show, but he'll collect about 45,000 free chips with no flop needed.
Lori Nunes was all in for 30,900 and called by Steve Nixon. Nunes held the , but was dominated by the for Nixon. No worries here though as Nunes flopped a jack, turned two pair and rivered a full house to double up as we approach the money bubble. Nixon was left with 61,000 in chips.
From early position, Alex Maturi raised to 9,500. Action folded to Eddy Sabat in the big blind and he three-bet shoved for 63,500. Maturi quickly called.

The board ran out and Sabat doubled up. Maturi was left with just 6,900 in chips.
On the next hand, Maturi was all in from under the gun for 6,400. Hayden Fortini reraised from middle position to 11,000 and everyone else folded.

The board ran out and Maturi exited in 26th place.
Matthew Chang was very short on chips, but he still managed to get his money in good with pocket queens against the two tens of Hayden Fortini.
A third ten appeared right on the flop, however, and Chang's best hand could not hold. The ladies betrayed him, and he's thusly been relegated to the rail.
Somebody at the table opened with a raise, and Donna Jetter flatted in position. Next door, though, Narinder Khasria moved all in for less than 100,000, enough to fold the initial raiser. When it came back around to Jetter, she made the call with a smiliar-sized stack, and the cards were on their backs:
Jetter:
Khasria:
It was a good call by Jetter, but it would go unrewarded as is so often the case. The dealer ran out a board of , saving all the drama for the final card. Khasria finds his tournament-saving three-outer on the river, locking up the pot and the double. When the chips were counted down, Jetter was left with just 8,400.
Kevin Jonna was all in for 2,000 from the small blind, and that means he's now all out. You can't win a pot if you can't turn over your hand, and Jonna's last dead hand has resulted in his elimination in 29th place.
From middle position, Eddy Sabat raised all in. Action folded to Andrew Moreno in the small blind and he commented, "It's real close," but then folded. Matthew Chang called all in from the big blind for 8,900.

The board ran through and Chang was saved by the river to double up and stay alive.
