All Kings Accounted For

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Sai Wang opened with a raise from middle position, then it folded around to Gregory Masters in the small blind who repopped it to 85,000. The action back on Wang, he thought a bit before pushing all in for 422,000 total, and Masters didn't wait long to call.

Masters tabled {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, then nodded as he saw Wang's hand across the table — {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

"You play that sh*t?" cracked Masters and Wang grinned. The flop came {7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, then the {4-Hearts} provided some heart-related drama. But the river was the {8-Clubs} and the pair chopped the pot.

Tonking Taken Out in 33rd, Deutsch Done in 32nd

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Two more eliminations to report here in the fast-moving Level 21.

First it was William Tonking all in with {K-Spades}{4-Hearts} against an opponent's {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and failing to improve when the board came {2-Spades}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

Soon after Jason Deutsch was all in and at risk with {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and up against Dave Fox's {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. The {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades} wasn't enough for Deutsch, and he, too, hit the rail.

With about 10 minutes to go in Level 21, just 31 players remain.

Michalek Knocks Out Houchins, Now Second In Chips

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

"I'm drawing dead." These were the words from Patrick Houchins after his shove on a {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} flop was called by Norman Michalek. Houchins held {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, but he had no hope, as Michalek held {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. He could actually still catch a running nine and ten for a straight, but the turn and river were the {3-Hearts} and{q-Spades}. Houchins let out a sarcastic chuckle when he saw the queen hit the river, before wishing the table good luck, and heading to the payout desk.

Meanwhile, Michalek is our new chip leader after that pot, as he now has 780,000.

Harder Out

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Christian Harder has been eliminated in 35th place. On his last hand he shoved the button with {A-}{5-}, but unfortunately for him ran into an opponent waking up with {A-}{K-} in the blinds, and when the board didn't improve Harder's hand, he was eliminated.

Walker Busts Inselberg

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Leo Walker came in for a raise in the cutoff, and David Inselberg moved all in for his last 75,000. It got back around to Walker, and he tanked for about 30 seconds before tossing in the call.

Inselberg: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Walker: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The flop kept Walker out in front, as it came down {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. The {9-Diamonds} gave Inselberg more hope, as a diamond on the river would now do it for him. However, the {3-Clubs} hit the river, and Walker collected the bounty, upping his stack to 540,000 in the process.

They are now down to 36 players, gathered around four tables.
