Kitchens Kicking Back
"How far did you get?" asked a friend of Johnny Kitchens of him just now over on the rail.
"I'm still in!" he replied. "There are my chips!" he pointed, and both laughed.
Kitchens had just received a penalty for exposing his hand out of turn with action pending, and he was standing over on the rail waiting it out when his friend came by.
Kitchens doesn't seem too bothered by the forced break -- he's sitting with a bit over 700,000 at the moment, which puts him in the upper third of the 21 players remaining.
Sekularac Sent Home
Ognjen Sekularac just now pushed all in before the flop for his last 230,000, and Dustin Dorrance-Bowman called him. Sekularac showed 
and Sekularac 
.
The community cards came 
, and Sekularac is out. Dorrance-Bowman moved up to 920,000 on that one.
Hart Stricken, Dorrance-Bowman on the Rise
On the very next hand after the one in which he eliminated Ognjen Sekularac, Dustin Dorrance-Bowman was again mixing it up.
Daniel Hart had opened with a raise to 33,000, and it folded to Dorrance-Bowman who pushed all in from the small blind.
"Table change, please!" joked Raymond Stuwe in response.
The big blind folded, and Hart made the call for his remaining chips, tabling 
versus Dorrance-Bowman's 
. The board came 
, and in two hands Dorrance-Bowman had scored two knockouts.
He's up to 1.13 million now.
Moen Doubles Through Peters
In early position, Espen Moen opened the pot with a 37,000-chip raise. The action folded to the button, and David Peters moved all in. Moen called.
Showdown
Moen: 
Peters: 
The board came out 
and Moen doubled up, is now up to 510,000 chips. Peters slipped to 470,000.
Bonavida Bounced, 18 Left
Raymond Bonavida opened by raising all in for 165,000 from the cutoff, and it folded to Yu Shen in the big blind who made the call. Cards on their backs...
Shen 
Bonavida 
"Does he have more than me?" asked Bonavida. A count showed Shen had Bonavida covered by just 13,000. "If I lose I'll have a chip and a chair," said Shen.
The board went 
, and Bonavida is out. Shen, meanwhile, has about 350,000 chips and a chair.
That takes us down to 18 players left, so there will be another redraw now for the final two tables.
Break Time
We're now on a 5-minute break.
