Shortly after doubling, Alejandro Trevino called Ronald Goodfellow's all-in shove of 30,500. It was a classic race as the former turned over 
against the latter's 
.
Unfortunately for Goodfellow, it wasn't a good flop as the 
gave Trevino a set. The 
turn left Goodfellow drawing dead, and after the 
was put out on the river for good measure, he took his leave from the tournament floor.

We noticed Kennii Nguyen was had been mysteriously absent since the level began, but he just came back and had apparently forgot that the dinner break was only 60-minutes instead of 90, which only occur on Day 1's.
He had some choice words about his stack being blinded and ante'd off for 20 minutes, but the it only seemed to have cost him about 10,000.
In any case, Nguyen is back in the action.

Vladimir Kochelaevskiy opened for 9,500 only to be met with a three-bet to 20,000 by Evan McNiff from the button. Both blinds got out of the way and Kochelaevskiy responded by moving all in for around 100,000, which McNiff called.
Showdown
Kochelaevskiy: 
McNiff: 
Kochelaevskiy held the dominant pair and was in great shape to double, even after the 
flop. Just when a win seemed certain, the 
spiked on the river to crush his spirits. While Kochelaevskiy picked up an open-ended straight draw, the 
would blank on the river to put an end to his day.

Action folded to Anthony Grappo in the small blind and he moved all in for 49,500. He only needed to get by Dylan Hortin in the big blind, but he just so happened to pick up a big hand to make the call.
Showdown
Grappo:
Hortin: 
Grappo was looking for either an ace or a good sweat, but he would get neither as the board ran out a stale

We caught up just as Shannon Shorr was going to the flop against Alexander Venovski. Shorr had raised preflop from early position and was called by Venovski in the big blind.
The flop came 
and Venovski checked, prompting a c-bet to 11,000 from Shorr. Venovski responded by check-raising to 34,000. Shorr thought it over and announced he was all in. Venovski quickly mucked and Shorr scooped the pot.

Action folded Jason Koon and he raised to 8,000. Lars Bonding responded with a three-bet, Koon four-bet, and Bonding five-bet all in for around 130,000. Koon made the call and the cards were turned on their backs.
Showdown
Bonding: 
Koon:
It was a flip, but it didn't come down in Bonding's favor as the 
flop paired Koon's queen. Neither the turn nor river would help Bonding, and he was left to express his angst via Twitter:
RealLarsBonding Lars Bonding 3 hands in a row all against Koon: shipped 75k against his open raise with A9, he calls AJ. Board 247 3 5. ...... next hand KK vs AQs ....
June 23 2012
RealLarsBonding Lars Bonding ... I win, 163k. Next hand, I 3b 22 against him, he 4b small, I jam, he snaps AQo, 340k flip, no good. Busto.

Kevin Allen min-raised to 8,000 from early position only to have Kyle Ward move all in from middle position for 45,500. Action folded back to Allen and he made an unenthusiastic call.
Showdown
Allen:
Ward: 
The 
flop wasn't very exciting, and Allen would need some help to eliminate his foe. The dealer burned and turned a paint card, but it was the inconsequential . The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
on the river, giving Ward a welcome double.

We caught the action on the 
when Kennii Nguyen had checked and Stanislav Barshak bet 13,000. Nguyen responded by check-raising to 33,500, Barshak moved all in, and Nguyen called off for 96,500 more.
"I have you beat right now," Nguyen said when the cards were tabled.
Showdown
Nguyen:
Barshak:
While Nguyen was correct in that he was ahead at that moment, he was drawing dead when the spiked on the turn to give Barshak a straight. The meaningless was run out on the river as a dejected Nguyen made his way to the payout desk in 70th place.
