HillKerby

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

"You missed a sick hand right before break," said Eli Ross as he walked by to exit the tournament area. He quickly shared that Billy Le and Alex Condon got stacks all in preflop right before the break with Le being the one at risk.

Billy Le:
Alex Condon:

Le was able to hit an ace on the flop, vaulting him to nearly three-quarters of a million in chips. Meanwhile, Condon is at just over 150,000, leaving him with what will be around 15 big blinds when play returns.

Meanwhile, another player who has flown under the radar throughout most of the day is Jeff Dewitt. Dewitt came into the day with 214,000 in chips and has chipped up to 256,000 through four hours of play.

The remaining 36 players are now on a 15-minute break.

Rodriguez Traps Sickle With Aces; Nearing 1.5 Million

HillKerby

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dan Stir opened to 26,000 from early position and was called by Noel Rodriguez, who was in the hijack. Chet Sickle went all in over the top from the cutoff and Stir thought for a while before folding. Rodriguez then called immediately, tabling his hand just as quickly.

Chet Sickle:
Noel Rodriguez:

"Snap call," said Sickle, realizing he was in some serious trouble. He called for diamonds in a non-demanding way but his request was never fulfilled as the board came to send him to the rail. He was the second elimination from Table 4 since the break after the short-stacked Marty Wong was also eliminated.

Rodriguez now finds himself with over 1.4 million in chips as he continues to climb.

Allen Kessler was also seen leaving the tournament area moments after the completion of the aforementioned hand. His seat was vacated and there were no chips in play, marking his departure from the tournament as well.
