Walter Harris Eliminated in 24th Place ($7,043)

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Brian Rast opened to 8,000 from middle position only to have Walter Harris three-bet his cutoff to 19,500. Rast announced a bet of pot as Harris quickly responded with a re-pot to be all in for 110,000. Rast made the call to put Harris at risk.

Harris: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Rast: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

With Harris in the lead, the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop wouldn't be an ideal one for him, and when the {10-Diamonds} and {4-Diamonds} completed the board on the turn and river, he was forced to exit in 24th place as Rast soars to 360,000 in chips.

James Carroll Eliminated in 23rd Place ($7,043)

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Daisuke Endo opened to 12,000 from the cutoff only to have James Carroll three-bet to 38,000. Endo made the call, and when the {Q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop fell, he called Carroll's 41,500-chip all in.

Endo: {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Carroll: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

With Carroll needing to spike an ace, king or nine to stay alive, the {10-Diamonds} on the turn gave him additional outs to a third ten.

Unfortunately it would be the {6-Clubs} on the river that would force Carroll to the rail in 23rd place as players head to break.

Penalty for Harder

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Christian Harder has just been awarded a penalty in today's tournament.

The Tournament Director has continuously warned players not to use or keep their mobile phones visible during a hand, and although Harder wasn't using his, it was still placed on the table in front of him.

Consequently the Tournament Director requested his Total Rewards number and forced him to sit out just one hand.

Sitting in the small blind with only 91,000 behind, Harder is potentially missing a chance to accumulate upon his 15-big blind stack.

Craig Eliminated

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Bradley Craig opened up the betting with a 21,000 pre flop raise from the button. Andrew Cohen re raised 81,000 and Craig called putting him all in and at risk for elimination.

Craig: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Cohen:{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

Cohen has increased his stack to 158,000.

Chop It Up

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

John Gordon opened the button to 16,000 only to have Allen Kessler move all in for 66,000 from the big bling. Gordon instantly made the call.

Gordon: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Kessler: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board would run out {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{J-Spades}{A-Spades}{6-Clubs} to see Gordon and Kessler chop it up.
