Pakinai Loses His Wad

Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
With the final table in sight for our remaining players, the bigger stacks have been punishing their weakened opponents, culling the short stacks from the field one by one.
Pakinai Lisawad was the latest to lose it all, after getting it all-in on a 
flop. When Shawn Silber bet the pot on the flop, forcing Lisawad to a decision for his tournament life, he made the call holding 
for top pair and an open-ended straight draw.
Silber's 
for top two pair put him out in front, and when the 
dropped on the river, he stood in celebration.
"I think you win," said Lisawad graciously, before making his way to the payout desk in 20th place, while the rest of his chips were sent to Silber.

Silber Eliminates Khachatryan as Heater Continues
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Levon Khachatryan was in the small blind and checked a 
flop, which Pakinai Lisawad also did from the big blind. Shawn Silber, who has been on a bit of a heater as of late, took the opportunity to bet 21,000 from middle position. Khachatryan then woke up with a pot-sized check-raise to 101,000 and then called off his last 10,000 after Lisawad folded and Silber repotted.
Khachatryan: 
Silber: 
Silber had flopped top set, which was up against Khachatryan's double gutshot straight and flush draws. There were a ton of cards that could influence the hand one way or the other, but the 
turn wasn't one of them. It was down to the river for Khachatryan, who would come up short when the 
blanked on the river.
Khachatryan was eliminated in 21st place for $8,435.

Silber Straightens Out Johnson
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
We caught the action on a flop with a short-stacked David Johnson having already got his last 16,000 in preflop. At that point, Pakinai Lisawad checked from the under-the-gun position and Shawn Silber bet 20,000. Lisawad folded and the cards were turned up.
Johnson: 
Silber: 
Silber flopped top pair with a gutshot straight draw, which was ahead of Johnson's pair of deuces and open-ended straight draw. The turn gave Silber his straight, which left Johnson in need of a king on the river just to chop. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
, the last card Johnson would see before making his way to the payout desk in 22nd place to collect $8,435.

David vs. David
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
After Michael Schwartz opened for 12,000 in early position, David Greene called, prompting David Johnson to reraise to 33,000 from the small blind. Schwartz mucked his cards, and Greene called to see a flop of hit the table.
First to act, Johnson fired a bet of 30,000 at Greene, and after he called the arrived on the river. Both players checked this apparent blank, and on the river Johnson led out once more, this time for a pot-sized bet. This put Greene all-in for his last 75,000, and he happily called with 
for a rivered straight.
Johnson flashed the 
as he mucked his cards, and with this bad beat he plummets in the chip counts, with only 2 big blinds remaining to his name.

I Knew a Man Bojangles...
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
We saw Ismael Bojang stand and make a hasty exit from the tournament floor after being eliminated, and we rushed over to catch John McCaffrey paying off Josh Pollock to the tune of a 121,000 all-in.
Apparently, Bojang had moved his last chips into the middle at some point, receiving calls from both McCaffrey and Pollock, and Pollack made an all-in move on McCaffrey that had also been called.
When Pollack rolled over his 
on a final board of , his flopped full house eliminated Bojang and doubled through McCaffrey in one fell swoop.

, John McCaffrey bet his last 71,000 from the small blind and Brandon Crawford called from the button.
McCaffrey: 
Crawford: 
McCaffrey was on the nut-flush draw and a gutshot straight draw, which he needed to his as Crawford flopped two pair. The turn was a complete blank for McCaffrey, and so was the 
river, which actually gave Crawford a full house.
McCaffrey was eliminated in 23rd place for $8,435.

Returning from the dinner break with just under 10 big blinds, Martin Kozlov had to make moves if he hoped to advance. With the
