Wes Corpuz

Wes Corpuz was all in and at risk against Jodie Sanders before the flop.

Wes Corpuz: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Jodie Sanders: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs} which put Corpuz in a deep hole. He couldn't climb out on the {2-Clubs} turn or the {J-Clubs} river and was eliminated in 19th place, bringing the final 18 players down to the last two tables.

Sanders Eliminates Lang

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Gene Lang
Gene Lang

On a flop of {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}, the action was checked to Gene Lang who bet 22,000 on the button into a pot of around 40,000. Jodie Sanders called from the big blind and the {k-Hearts} landed on the turn.

Sanders checked again and Lang pushed all in. Sanders quickly called and tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for two pair. Lang flipped over {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for just one pair and his tournament life was at risk. The river brought the {2-Diamonds} and Lang was sent to the payout desk in 20th place.

Kim Brings the Field Down to 27

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A player moved all in from middle position, shoving for just over 25,000. Action folded to Won Kim in the big blind and he tanked for a bit before calling with his covering stack.

Won Kim: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and that was good to earn Kim the pot, bringing the rest of the field down to the final three tables.
