Juan Vecino Eliminated in 17th Place ($10,614)

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Juan Vecino
Juan Vecino

Ranno Sootla has been up near the top for much of this tournament and there are no signs that he plans to slow down any time soon. He just eliminated Juan Vecino in a hand that played out across all three streets and took another bounty to add to his already impressive collection.

Sootla opened the betting to 45,000 and only Vecino called, playing off the button. The flop came {10-Spades}{a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Sootla continued for 75,000, which Vecino called.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and Sootla barrelled, making it 195,000. Once again Vecino called. The {6-Spades} river completed the board and Sootla set Vecino all in (he had 375,000 left). After tanking for a minute, Vecino made the call with {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} against Sootla's {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} and he had to make his way to the payout desk. Sootla, meanwhile, is pulling ahead from the rest of the field.

Jamie O'Connor Eliminated in 18th Place ($10,614)

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jamie O'Connor
Jamie O'Connor

Jamie O'Connor managed to win a couple of double-ups before this hand.

O'Connor moved all in for 120,000 from the button and Mikhail Semin called him from the small blind. O'Connor tabled {a-}{2-} and Semin showed {k-}{q-}.

The board ran out dry for O'Connor up until the river which landed a king. Semin's pair of kings on the river was good for the pot and eliminated O'Connor from the tournament.

Ryne Capra Eliminated in 19th Place ($8,541)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Ryne Capra
Ryne Capra

Ryne Capra had been nursing a short stack for a while and had managed to steal the blinds a couple of times in the last orbit.

Just now he opened from middle position and Mark Mazza defended from the big blind.

They were heads up to the flop and it came {4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Mazza checked and Capra continued for 50,000. Mazza then reraised enough to put his opponent all in and Capra made the call.

Mark Mazza: {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Ryne Capra: {6-Spades}{5-Spades}

Capra saw that he'd been outflopped and got out of his seat. The {10-Clubs} turn kept Mazza in front, as did the {j-Hearts} river. The remaining players have made it to the final two tables.

Andy Phan Eliminated in 20th Place ($8,541)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Andy Phan
Andy Phan

Jamie O'Connor opened to 32,000 from the button and Andy Phan moved all in for 124,000 from the small blind. O'Connor made the call and the players then turned over their hands.

Jamie O'Connor: {j-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Andy Phan: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

The flop was good for Phan as the dealer fanned out {j-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and he was ahead with his aces. When the {q-Diamonds} landed on the turn it was O'Connor who took the lead and the {6-Spades} on the river changed nothing as it stayed that way.

O'Connor took down the pot and is now above his Day 3 starting stack for the first time today.

Jacob Phillips Eliminated in 21st Place ($8,541)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Jacob Phillips
Jacob Phillips

After losing some chips earlier, Ryan Leng has pulled some back in the last hand.

Jay Farber kick started the action by opening to 35,000 and Jacob Phillips three-bet to 101,000. It folded round to Ryan Leng who upped it again, enough to put Phillips all-in. With Farber out of the way, Phillips made the call and he was the player who needed to hit with his tournament life on the line.

Ryan Leng: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Jacob Phillips: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} hit for Leng and Phillips was in some trouble with two cards to come. The {3-Spades}{10-Spades} turn and river sealed it up for Leng and Phillips hit the rail in 21st.
