The board ran out
to eliminate Aaron Gordon in 24th place for $257,334 in prize money.
Albert Kim Chips Up
He first squeezed when the 225,000 opening raise of Darus Suharto was called by Dennis Phillips. Kim made it 1,025,000 to force a fold from his opponents.
A few moments later he three-bet the opening raise from Nicholas Sliwinski and again took down a nice pot without seeing a flop.
Kim is now up to 4.8 million chips.
Scratch That
Just recently, an announcement was made congratulating "Nicholas Sliwinski" as our 25th-place finisher. This announcement drew a bit of confusion from the gallery, as Sliwinksi is still very much alive in the event.
A few seconds later, the announcement was retracted and we were all told to "disregard that." A few minutes later, it was announced that it was, in fact, Niklas Flisberg that was eliminated.
The confusion presumably resulted from both players having similar first names.
Walk Off That Limp
On the next hand Crowe was in the small blind and when it was again folded around Crowe limped in from the small blind. Craig Marquis was having none of that and raised to 260,000. That's when Crowe showed that he wasn't playing passive and popped it to 660,000. Marquis mucked and Crowe picked up another pot.

. Bishop's act provoked some boos from his tablemates, who perhaps looked at it as a slow-roll.
"'You got an ace bro?' Come on..." said one player.
The flop was
, but the turn was the 
, eliciting a huge "OOOOOHHHHH!!" from the crowd as Flisberg picked up a flush draw."Karma!" called out one spectator as Bishop stood, with his back to the table, waiting for the river card.
The river was the
and Flisberg was eliminated. Bishop walked over to his opponent and shook his hand, with a quick apology. Flisberg appeared undeterred and made his exit in 26th place, off to collect his $257,334 in earnings. Unfortunately, the Tournament Director called the wrong name over the loudspeakers, announcing that Nicholas Sliwinski had been eliminated, not Flisberg. For the record, Sliwinski is alive and well and still playing in the tournament.
Phillips Flushed With Success
They saw a flop of
