James Mallen Eliminated in 26th Place ($19,633)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
James Mallen
James Mallen

Dennis Phillips opened the action with a raise for 40,000 from the button and the small blind folded. James Mallen moved all in for 154,000 in total and Phillips was sent into agony. "Guess I am supposed to call here," he said. Then asked the dealer again how much more it was. Another minute passed by. "Sorry guys," he apologized for pondering about the decision. "Take your time," Stephen Wood said from the small blind. Ultimately Phillips tossed in the chips.

Phillips: {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Mallen: {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

"I am ahead, barely," Phillips said upon discovering the cards of his opponent. The {K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts} board stayed clear and we are down to 25 players.

Milwood Motley
Milwood Motley

Doc Barry raised to 40,000 and Milwood Motley three-bet to 100,000. Barry moved all in and Motley called off for approximately 350,000. Both had suited aces but Barry was slightly ahead with the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, Motley needed a queen or spades with the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}. The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and we have our first chips millionaire. Motley takes home $19,633 for his efforts.

Alan Gillespie Eliminated in 23rd Place ($19,633)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Alan Gillespie - 23rd Place
Alan Gillespie - 23rd Place

Alan Gillespie moved all in and was called by Carl Torelli.

Gillespie was the player at risk with {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} but he was ahead of the {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} of Torelli.

The cards fell {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and a set for Torelli right on the flop and no magic seven would appear for Gillespie to send him to the rail.

Michael Wilson Eliminated in 22nd Place ($19,633)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Wilson
Michael Wilson

First Michael Wilson got it in with {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} only to get crushed by the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} of his opponent to drop as low as 28,000 chips. Another 3,000 chips went into the next hand as ante and he was all in for 25,000. David Smith isolated to 150,000 and all other opponents folded. Wilson doubled up with his favorite hand {K-Spades}{10-Spades} versus {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} on the {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board.

Again one hand later, Wilson was all in for 98,000 and got called by Doc Barry one seat over. All other players got out of the way and Wilson had one over card with the {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades} to the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} of the chip leader. He spiked the {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} flop but the {9-Diamonds} turn left him drawing dead. A meaningless {10-Spades} completed the board and Wilson headed to the payout desk to collect $19,633.

Walter Davis Eliminated In 21st Place ($19,633)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Walter Davis
Walter Davis

Walter Davis open shoved from the cutoff for what looked like 250,000 and one seat over, Dan Heimiller moved all in as well. All opponents folded and Heimiller opened his cards with the words "Okay I gamble here," to which Davis replied "You gamble with the best hand."

Davis: {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Heimiller: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{Q-Hearts} board wasn't really a sweat and Davis was sent to the rail in 21st place.

Craig Carrillo - 19th Place

Craig Carrillo moved all in and was quickly called by Jim Custer.

They both had pairs but the {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} of Carrillo was crushed by the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} of Custer.

The board ran out {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

Carrillo couldn't come from behind and Custer's march up the leader board continued into second position.

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Stephen Wood
Stephen Wood

Stephen Wood raised to 81,000 and the action folded to Dan Heimiller in the small blind, who opted for the call. Dennis Phillips folded his big blind and both went to see the {5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. Heimiller checked, Wood moved all in and got an instant call.

Wood: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}
Heimiller: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The {5-Diamonds} turn gave Heimiller the full house and Wood trips, a meaningless {K-Spades} river saw Wood out in 18th place for $24,961.
