We are now (finally) into the last level of the evening!
130 players until we hit the money, but it's an unlikely result at this stage!
Level: 10
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 100
A player raised from early position, Steven Chidwick pushed all in for 8,500 and the original raiser called.
Chidwick: 
Opponent: 
Chidwick was in trouble when the flop came 
. He didn't improve when the 
hit the turn and needed to catch a jack on the river. The dealer burned and revealed the 
!
Chidwick took down the pot and doubled to 18,500.
The tournament staff just announced that the remaining tables will be played nine handed.
Seat 9 raised to 1,900 and Roland De Wolfe made the call. Action folded to the small blind who moved all in for 7,300. Both the big blind and Seat 9 folded, putting the decision back on De Wolfe.
He grabbed some chips and tossed them into the pot. The small blind showed 
and was ahead of De Wolfe's 
.
De Wolfe took the lead when the flop came 
, but the small blind picked up a flush draw. The on the turn changed little and the 
appeared on the river. This gave De Wolfe two pair; however, it also gave the small blind a straight.
De Wolfe took a small hit to his stack but is still sitting with around 30,000.
With around 4,500 in the pot and the board reading 
, Aaron Benton fired out 2,600 from the button after his opponent in the big blind checked it over to him.
His opponent thought for a little before check-raising to 7,000 only to have Benton make it 17,200 to go.
Benton was instantly met with an all in for only an additional 6,200 as he was put into the tank.
Several minutes went by as Benton deliberated his decision before eventually folding to leave himself 17,000 in chips.
A player in Seat 10 raised to 1,900 from middle position and David Pham called on the button. The flop came 
and Seat 10 bet 3,100.

. This time Seat 10 checked and Pham bet 4,600.
Seat 10 called and then both players checked the on the river. This is the point where someone would show their hand to win, but neither player wanted to reveal their cards. In fact, the dealer had to call a floor over to determine who was obligated to show first.
As it turned out, Seat 10 was first to show and she flipped over . Pham then turned over 
for the same pair but with a better kicker. Pham is up to 56,000.
Facing a raise from middle position, Jeff Williams moved all in from the big blind.
After some deliberation, his opponent made the call tabling 
to be in a race against Williams' 
.
The board ran out 
to see Williams sent to the rail.
After a flop of , Scott Freeman checked and Liv Boeree bet 2,200. Freeman called and then both players checked the 
on the turn.
Again, Freeman checked when the 
came on the river. Boeree bet 2,300 and Freeman made the call. Boeree showed which was good enough to take down the pot.
"You out-kicked me," Freeman explained after the hand.
