Kristy Arnett Eliminated in 11th Place ($6,237)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Kristy Arnett
Kristy Arnett

The action was on Clyde Hinton who raised it up on the button. Kristy Arnett moved all in for her last 160,000 in the small blind and Hinton quickly made the call.

Clyde Hinton: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Kristy Arnett: {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Arnett was in a dominated position and the flop of {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} put her even further behind. The {10-Clubs} on the turn was one of the cards that gave Arnett a lot of outs on the river but the {7-Hearts} paired the board and Arnett was eliminated.

David Fair Eliminated in 12th Place ($6,237)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
David Fair
David Fair

Friman Villalona opened to 65,000 from under the gun and David Fair three-bet shoved all in for 153,000 on his left. The action folded back to Villalona who went in the tank for a couple of minutes before making the call.

Friman Villalona: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
David Fair: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip and the flop of {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} left Villalona in the lead. The {j-Spades} on the turn narrowed Fair's outs and the {9-Spades} on the river improved Villalona to a flush.

Chris Dandrea Eliminated in 13th Place ($5,156)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Chris Dandrea
Chris Dandrea

The action folded to Rick Troendly in the small blind who announced all in. Chris Dandrea was in the big blind with around 150,000 and called off his stack.

Rick Troendly: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Chris Dandrea: {j-}{7-}

The flop came {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Troendly took a commanding lead with a pair of aces. Dandrea was not able to connect with the turn card and was essentially drawing dead to the river.

Ray Henson Eliminated in 17th Place ($4,356)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ray Henson
Ray Henson

Just moments after Vanja Oyuka doubled up his short stack, he was back at it again. Ray Henson was the first to shove all in for around 65,000 in the hijack and Vanja Oyuka re-shoved all in for slightly more on the button.

Vanja Oyuka: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Ray Henson: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

It was a coin flip but Oyuka held on to the lead through the {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop. The {8-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing and the {4-Hearts} on the river ended Henson's tournament.

Alcorn Gets Coolered

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

The action folded around to Alon Eldar on the button who just shoved all in. He had two smaller stacks behind him in the blinds and Heather Alcorn called off her stack of around 140,000 in the small blind.

Alon Eldar: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Heather Alcorn: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Not only did Eldar have the larger of the two pocket pairs, but he also had both of the suits covered. The board ran out {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Alcorn was ousted just prior to the first break of the day.

Fair Triples Up, Moreno Bounced Early

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Andrew Moreno
Andrew Moreno

After arriving at the table, three hands were tabled and their stacks were in the middle preflop. David Fair was at risk for 102,000, Andre Moreno started the hand with 106,000, and Friman Villalona had both players covered.

David Fair: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Andrew Moreno: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Friman Villalona: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The flop came {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Moreno was still in a good position to take down the pot. However, the {a-Clubs} on the turn put Fair in the lead and Moreno was down to just one out. The {9-Diamonds} completed the board to give Fair a triple up and Moreno was the first casualty of the day.
