Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The remaining 27 players have really stepped on the brakes now as we approach the penultimate level of the night, and as a result we've been scraping the bottom of the barrel to find any action. Here's the best of a bad bunch.

On a board of {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts} with a 35,000 pot in the middle, Ryan Welch led out for 25,000 from the small blind and Joshua Mullen called from the button before Welch opened for 55,000 on the river of the {8-Clubs}. Mullen mucked, but Welch was quick to open up his {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

A similar thing happened on the secondary feature table; Efren Garcia raised to 13,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Steven Gross who reraised to 31,000. Ravi Raghavan then four-bet-shoved for 170,000 from the big blind, forcing both Garci out of the way, and after some time in the tank, Gross open-folded {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}!
