Brian Brubaker raised it up in early position, and Ismael Bojang put out three bets, leaving just 1,500 behind. It folded to Konstantin Puchkov in the big blind, and he looked down at his cards, tanked for about 45 seconds, then put out chips for the call. Brubaker raised, Bojang committed the rest of his chips, and Puchkov called, leaving himself just 1,000 behind.

Both Brubaker and Puchkov drew one while Bojang drew two. The last of Puchkov's chips got in the middle, and Brubaker stood pat, while Puchkov drew one and Bojang two. Both of these players drew one on the final draw, while Brubaker once again patted. Here were the hands.

Shamus

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Start-of-day 2 chip leader Juijen Chang had been on a short stack for a while, then lost most of his stack in a hand versus David "ODB" Baker when the latter drew a to beat Chang's hand.

Down to less than 15,000, a hand soon arose in which Chang and Baker bet back and forth to get Chang all in before the first draw. Chang then drew two, one, and stood pat, while Baker drew one, one, and stood pat. Baker tabled , and when Chang studied Baker's hand and then his own, he mucked and rapped the table before departing.

Farhad Momeni Eliminated in 12th Place ($9,559)

Shamus

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Farhad Momeni was just now all in before the first draw in a hand that saw both Daniel Negreanu and Michael Mizrachi put in three bets apiece while Momeni was all in for his last 12,000 or so.

Negreanu would be the one leading the betting in this hand out of the small blind after drawing one on the first round then standing pat thereafter. Momeni was out of chips and drew two, then two, then one. Meanwhile Mizrachi drew one card on all three rounds, calling Negreanu after the first two draws and then folding after the third.

Negreanu tabled an eight-smooth — — and Momeni mucked.

Hernan Salazar Eliminated in 11th Place ($9,559)

Shamus

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Hernan Salazar had survived several all-in situations with his short stack over the last stretch, including a hand just a short while ago that saw him all in and drawing a pair of treys on the last round but still surviving after Michael Mizrachi drew a seven-high straight.

Shortly after that hand Salazar's luck ran out, however, again in a hand versus Mizrachi.

All in before the first draw, Salazar drew one card on all three rounds while Mizrachi drew two, then one, then one.

Mizrachi quickly spread his hand to show he'd made a number one — . Then Salazar showed his and expressed amazement when flipping the fifth card as he'd ended with a number two (!) — . "The Mizrachi Show," deadpanned Scott Seiver at the sight of the hands.

With a half-hour to go tonight, just 10 players remain.

Chiu Over 400,000

tayke2

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Brian Brubaker raised it up on the button, and David Chiu defended his big blind. Chiu drew three, while Brubaker drew two. Chiu check to Brubaker, who fired out, and that bet was met with a check raise by Chiu. Brubaker called, and both players drew one on the second draw. Chiu bet out, and Brubaker called. Chiu stood pat, and bet out as soon as Brubaker drew one card. He made the call, and Chiu rolled over .

That hand carries Chiu up over the 400,000-chip mark and into the lead for the moment, as Michael Mizrachi has slid back down toward 300,000.
