Terrence Chan has been bleeding chips of late, with his hands rarely going to showdown. The blinds and limits are very high now and as such when a player commits just a few big bets, it is a large portion of their stack. Chan is currently one of the shorter stacks in the room.
Jesse Martin was down to just a few big bets earlier, but has managed to see his stack double through Samuel Golbuff. The hand in question began when Golbuff raised it up in the small blind. Martin was in the big blind and made the call.

Ayman Qutami has taken down a few pots recently to see his stack increase dramatically. We recently watched Qutami take down a pot a off Matthew Woodward that went a little something like this.
From under the gun, Qutami raised it up and Woodward three-bet out of the small blind. Qutami called and a 
flop was dealt. Woodward checked and Qutami bet. A call and a 
on the turn would see Woodward again check and Qutami again bet. Wooward called and a 
fell on the river. This time when Woodward checked and Qutami bet, Woodward would go deep into the tank. It's not often that the clock gets called on a player in a limit event, but that's what happened here as Woodward had one minute to act. Eventually he decided to fold and sent the pot to Qutami.
From middle position Benjamin Scholl opened up the pot holding 
and Samuel Golbuff called out of the small blind holding 
. On the 
flop, Golbuff checked and then Scholl bet. Golbuff opted to put in the check-raise and Scholl quickly made it three bets to go. Golbuff made the call and the was dealt on the turn. Golbuff tapped the table and Scholl put in his last 15,000. Golbuff called and the two players turned their hands over. The 
on the river was safe for Scholl as his hand held up to see his stack double.
The action was opened on the button and Jesse Martin then three-bet from the small blind. Matt Szymaszek was in the big blind and he made it four bets. The button got out of the way and Martin capped the betting. Szymaszek made the call and a

Martin opted to check here and then Szymaszek bet. A call from Martin and a 
hit the turn. Again Martin checked and Szymaszek bet. Another call and a

Chris Overgard has just seen his tournament life come to an end over the course of two hands. We were there to see the hand that left him with just a couple of big bets. Overgard opened the button and Chan three-bet out of the small blind. Overgard made the call and then proceeded to call three streets of betting from Chan on a 
board. At the end of the hand, Chan tabled , enough to take down the pot and see Overgard crippled.
Just a few hands later and we noticed that Overgard was busy gathering his belongings and leaving the tournament area in 13th place.

Ante: 0
Folded to Ayman Qutami on the button, he flicked in a raise and got one call from Chris Overgard. The 
flop would see Overgard lead out and Qutami make the call. The same actions occurred on the turn and the 
was the final card on the felt. This time Overgard would tap the table and then fold when Qutami put in a bet.
The eliminations have been flying fast during this second level of play today, with Kenneth Shei the latest addition to the rail. The last hand of Shei's night started when Terrence Chan opened up the pot from under the gun. Shei was in middle position and made it three-bets to go. Back on Chan and he made it four-bets. Shei made the call and a 
flop was dealt.
At this point Shei had less then a big bet left and got the remainder of his stack in on the flop. Chan's 
was in great shape against Shei's as he Shei would need some help. It was help that would never come as the turn () and the river () would see Shei sent home in 14th place.
Just a short while after we lost our 16th place finisher, we have now lost Douglas Rutherford in 15th. Rutherford was quite short stacked coming into the last hand of his tournament. It all started when Rutherford opened the pot from middle position. Matt Glantz called in the big blind and a 
flop was dealt out on the felt.
Both players checked the flop, while the on the turn would see Glantz lead and then Rutherford make it two bets. Glantz called and an 
completed the board on the river. Glantz led on the river and Rutherford called his last 12,000 into the pot.
When Glantz tabled for a full house, Rutherford's cards went flying into the muck and he made his way out of the tournament area.
