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.

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.

Mazza Makes it Happen On the River

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

Francisco Torrecillas has been on a heater to start the day and was looking like he was going to breach the one million mark until this last hand.

Torrecillas opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Mark Mazza moved all in for 296,000 from the hijack. Torrecillas snap-called and the players then turned over their hands, with Mazza at risk of elimination.

Mark Mazza: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Francisco Torrecillas: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Mazza said "Come on, jack!" The turn was not that as the {6-Clubs} landed, but the river indeed came the {j-Hearts} that Mazza was looking for. Torrecillas shook his head as Mazza's rivered straight took down the pot for a double-up.

Peterson Boosts Up to Over 1 Million

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Richard Peterson
Richard Peterson

Richard Peterson opened the betting from under the gun and Jamie O'Connor three-bet to 127,000 on the cutoff. Juan Vecino was sat in the small blind and flat-called and Peterson came along too.

The {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop saw checks from all three players. The {2-Spades} turn saw Vecino lead for 130,000. Peterson came along but O'Connor passed.

It was a {10-Clubs} river and both players checked. Peterson showed {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and was visibly delighted when Vecino mucked his hand and he scooped the pot.

Limpscomb on the Up

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Sterling Lipscomb
Sterling Lipscomb

Ryan Leng opted to limp from under the gun and Christian Nolte raised it up. Sterling Lipscomb called behind on the button and Leng made up the difference, taking three of them to the flop.

It came down {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Leng checked. Nolte continued for 105,000 and Lipscomb moved all in. This got folds from both his opponents and he is having a very promising start to the day, sitting on over one million now.

Peterson Leaves O'Connor with Crumbs

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

Jamie O'Connor just lost a good portion of his stack in the previous hand.

The board read {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Both O'Connor and Richard Peterson had all their chips in the middle, with Peterson at risk.

O'Connor tabled {k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} for top pair and Peterson showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for a pair of aces. The turn came the {j-Hearts} and the river the {2-Diamonds}. Peterson's aces held on for the pot and left O'Connor with under two big blinds.

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.
