Level 13 : 0/0, 3,000 ante
David Eldridge
David Eldridge

A completed board of {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} was already spread across the felt and David Eldridge was seen getting up from his seat already. Eldridge's cards were already in the muck as he had just been eliminated.

Shota Nakanishi was on the winning side again with {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw on the flop. Nakanishi made a pair of nines on the river and that was enough to send Eldridge out in 12th place.

Level 13 : 0/0, 3,000 ante
Yong Wang

Yong Wang raised it up in early position and Scott Smile three-bet to 55,000 on his left. The action folded back to Wang who shoved all in for around 180,000. Smile quickly called and the cards were face up.

Yong Wang: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Scott Smile: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

"Short deck!" Smile shouted as he pointed to his cards. The flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} was good for Smile to give him a pair of tens. The {7-Spades} on the turn improved him to a straight and Wang was all but drawing dead to the {9-Clubs} on the river.
