Daniel Idema completed with a showing and was raised by Bryce Yockey, who was showing . Idema proceeded to three-bet, Yockey four-bet and all the former's chips got in the pot.

Yockey's six-low became unbeatable on sixth street and Idema headed to the payout desk in 24th place to collect $7,116.
The field has been reduced to the final 24 players, and we've redrawn for the final three tables. We also drew for the game and the button, and we'll start with Razz. Here's how the field is laid out now:
We caught the action on the turn when Cliff Josephy put out a bet and a extremely short-stacked Young Phan called off. Robby Rasmussen came along for the ride and actually took the lead on fifth, which he bet. Josephy thought for a few moments before releasing his hand and the cards were turned up.

Phan: / /
Josephy: (x-x) / fold
Unfortunately for Phan he double paired on sixth and was left drawing dead when Rasmussen improved on seventh. Nonetheless, the good-spirited Phan loudly exclaimed, "Yes, I made a flush," when his on seventh gave him five clubs.
Everyone at the table got a good laugh and proceeded to shake Phan's hand. "Always a pleasure to play with you," one player remarked.
With Phan's elimination in 25th place, the remaining 24 players are now redrawing down to the final three tables.
Our last check on Daniel Idema had him hovering comfortably above the chip average — right where he had been for most of the day.
Things have changed, it appears. As we walked past his table, we saw that Idema now has just 35,000 left, and he's going to have to fight a bit to survive this day.
Unfortunately we didn't catch the hand, but we can confirm that Brad Libson was recently eliminated in a hand of Stud. He becomes out 26th-place finisher and will take home $5,964.
The tournament staff is currently racing off the blue T500 chips. When they're done, Level 20 will commence. That means there is just one more hour of play left in the day.
We didn't catch Sam Grizzle's bustout in 27th place, but Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy filled us in via Twitter:
JohnnyBaxPoker Cliff JosephyPayout table 433! Got the ever so classy Sam Grizzle's last 30k AJ to his QJ on J32 in LHE. Feels good. 168k. #RunGoodPlayBetterJune 15 2012
We caught the action on the turn when Yuval Bronshtein put out a bet and was called by Brandon Guss. Bronshtein, who only had 20,500 at this point, put out a bet and then called off when Guss raised.

Guss: / /
Guss had a 9-5-4-2-A low and failed to improve, but he didn't have to as Bronshtein could only make a 9-6-4-2-A low. The latter exited in 28th place and earned $5,964 for his efforts.
Maria Mayrinck did an admirable job of grinding her short stack here over the past few hours, but she's finally succumbed to this Day 2. It was Omaha Hi/Lo where Mayrinck got the last of her chips in preflop with . Jason Brown looked her up with , and his hand would only get better.
Another couple fours and a king showed up on board, and Mayrinck was sent off on a boat. She's notched her seventh career WSOP cash and her first one outside of hold'em, but her night is done about an hour earlier than she'd hoped.
