Sent to the Hall
Level 20
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Just after the break we found Ryan Hall all in before the flop. Hall was racing for his tournament life with 
against Andrew Rudnik's 
.
The flop brought no help to Hall as it fell 
. The 
on fourth street also did not help him and he was looking to pair up on the river to stay alive in this tournament. The deck did not oblige, however, as the 
completed the board and eliminated Hall from play. He made his way to the payout desk while Rudnik dragged in the pot.

We caught up with the action on a board of 
to find Matthew Weber move all in. John Renzi called the all in but was flabbergasted when Weber rolled over 
for kings full of nines. Renzi tried to muck his cards but floor staff made them be tabled because the situation was an all in and a call.
Renzi held 
but those quickly went right back into the muck when the 
finished off the board. Weber scooped up the pot and is now sitting on about 305,000 while Renzi has fallen to 250,000.

Glantz and Christopher Eliminated; Wexler Over 1.3 Million
Level 20
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Wow. Just wow.
A massive confrontation just happened that saw the demise of Matt Glantz and Tom Christopher at the hands of Jonas Wexler.
Glantz opened with a preflop raise and Christopher flatted from the cutoff. It folded to Wexler's small blind and he made it 43,000. Glantz four-bet shipped all in for about 180,000 and Christopher instantly flat called. Action was back on Wexler and he announced that he was all in over the top which was actually a bet for Christopher's life. He called and the hands were tabled.
Wexler:
Christopher:
Glantz:
The flop was relatively tame as it brought 
but the on the turn gave Christopher outs to make a spade flush. The board finished quickly with the , though, and Wexler jumped into the air in jubilation. His elimination of two players has put the field into a total re-draw for the final three tables.
Wexler is now the overwhelming chip lead with about 1.37 million in chips.
