"Pot"

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Action folded to Nicolas Levi in the hijack and he put in a raise to 44,000. Michael Benvenuti, who was next to act, then reraised to 128,000. The blinds got out of the way and action was back on Levi. He thought long and hard before announcing, "Pot." Benvenuti didn't take long before releasing his hand, allowing Levi to pick up over 100K.

No Contest

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

We've yet to see any significant action from the players, but it'll only be a matter of time before something develops. We imagine the nine players are enjoying their time in the spotlight.

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Players are back in their seats here on the ESPN main stage. The arena is slowly filling with spectators as the floor is making player introductions. The final table will commence in just a few minutes as the remaining nine players attempt to capture the $573,456 first-place prize.

Dinner Break

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

The remaining nine players have relocated to the ESPN Feature Table area. After the redraw tournament officials decided it would be best to go on dinner break now. Action is set to resume at 8 p.m. PST as we hope to crown a a new champion tonight.

Jonathan Jaffe Eliminated in 10th Place ($40,890)

Jonathan Jaffe - 10th place
Jonathan Jaffe - 10th place

Jarred Solomon attempted to raise preflop, but was forced to call after he failed to put in enough chips. Jonathan Jaffe then put in a raise to 65,000 and Solomon smooth-called. When the flop fell {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Solomon check-called a bet of 90,000, leading to the {2-Spades} on the turn.

Solomon led out for 90,000, Jaffe made it 200,000, and Solomon made the call. When the {K-Diamonds} hit the river, Solomon check-called Jaffe's all-in bet of about 240,000 and showed {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} for a flopped set of aces. It was good as Jaffe showed the inferior {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Jaffe was eliminated in 10th place as the final table bubble boy.

The board ran {4-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {3-Clubs} and Lehavot flopped the nut flush and elminated Lews from the tournament. Lehavot has broke the million chip mark.
