Earlier in the tournament, we reported that Tom Dwan lost a big hand to Amit Makhija when Makhija flopped a set against Dwan's AK. Well Dwan must have been feeling deja vu all over again with this hand that just knocked him out. Dwan went all in preflop, and Robert Williamson III made the call.
Dwan:

The flop was once again brutal to Dwan as it came . The turn and river provided no help as it came the and , and Dwan hurried on over to the 10k omaha hi-low tournament to late register.
The action over in the Black section has been lacking in this post-dinner break session, but American Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin is holding his own, moving up to 28,000 in chips.
The action folded to Ramdin who raised to 1,075 from the cutoff. The button folded, and both the small and big blinds called before they checked to Ramdin on the flop of . Ramdin led out for 2,050, but that was enough to have them both fold.
While Ramdin continues his quest for a WSOP gold bracelet, the same cannot be said for co-creator of The Micros Jay Rosenkrantz, or Aussie online phenom Jonathan Karamalikis, who have both hit the rail. However, we did notice Bryan Colin cutting an imposing figure out on table 29 - he's now sitting on a stack worth more than 76,000!
The players have returned to their seats and the cards are back in the air! At present, there are 319 runners left in this event and at this rate of attrition, we may well reach the money tonight.
In any case, we'll be playing two more levels before we bag 'em and tag 'em.
