Level 23
: 7,000/14,000, 2,000 ante
We stumbled upon the action with 500,000 in the pot and a board reading 
. Torrey Reily had led out for 100,000 and was then min-raised to 200,000 by George Miro. Reily responded by moving all in and put the pressure on Miro, who contemplated the call. Eventually he spiked in his last 220,000 and the cards were turned up.
Showdown
| Miro |   |
| Reily |   |
Reily was ahead with his pair of kings but he needed to dodge Miro's outs, which included an ace and flush draw. There was about a million chips on the line when the dealer burned and put out the 
on the river. Miro spiked his card for a massive double while Reily was left with just 70,000.
Just a few hands later, Reily was eliminated in 21st place for $8,609.

It looks to be that we have our first 2 million man - Anthony Vidmer. Joel Merwick moved all in preflop after one opening raise and Anthony Vidmer called. Cory Brinkman tanked for a good long while before folding his hand and they were off to the show down.
Merwick: 
Vidmer: 
The board board ran 
and Merwick made his exit.

We caught up with this hand on the flop of 
between Shawn Quillin and Shane Smith. Quillin led out with 60,000 from the small blind and Smith announced all in from the button. Quillin thought for a moment and then called.
Smith: 
Quillin:
The board finished with two blanks and Quillin was sent to the rail.

With the flurry of bustouts in the last few minutes we missed Sean McElroy's elimination.
Level 23
: 7,000/14,000, 2,000 ante
A short-stacked Kevin Choe got all in preflop holding and was racing against the 
of Lance Simon. Every time we see the latter in a hand, he seems to end with the chips, and this hand was no different as the board ran out 
.
Choe was eliminated in 25th place and will take home $6,202 for his performance.
Level 23
: 7,000/14,000, 2,000 ante
Anthony Vidmer opened for 35,000 and Danny Alvarez called from the big blind. The flop fell 
, Vidmer led out with 53,000 and Alvarez raised to 208,000. Vidmer wanted to know the exact amount of the raise and once told he moved all in. Alvarez sighed and mucked his hand.
Level 22
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
We didn't catch the details, but we can confirm that just before the break Michael Catt became our 27th-place finisher for $6,202.
Also before the break, Maurice Hawkins got his stack all in preflop with 
and was called by the of Brian Sneed. The 
flop was a dagger through Hawkins' heart as it gave Sneed a set and the lead. Neither the turn nor 
river helped Hawkins and he made his way to the payout desk in 26th place to collect $6,202.
