Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded around to Nishant Sharma who went into the tank for about a minute before fellow tablemate David Wang called the clock. The floor came over and issued a 30-second countdown until his hand was dead.

Before walking away, the floor let the table know if he comes back it will be a 15-second count down instead.

After Sharma's hand was called dead, Wang raised to 35,000 on the button and Caleb Furth made the call in the big blind.

When the K♦J♠3♠ flop hit the felt, both players checked to see the 3♥ turn.

Furth check-called a bet of 43,000 from Wang and they saw the 8♥ river.

Both players quickly checked and Furth tabled K♥Q♥Q♣7♠, while Wang showed A♥K♣10♣2♠.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Wang	1,350,000 1,251,500	1,251,500
Caleb Furth	858,000 8,000	8,000

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Zachery Reinbold limped on the button, as did Oswin Ziegelbecker out of the small blind and Ren Lin in the big blind checked his option.

Once checked to, Reinbold took the lead for 15,000 on a board of 6♥9♣7♦. Ziegelbecker called and Lin folded.

The K♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Reinbold betting 52,000.

The 2♣ on the river prompted Ziegelbecker to check once more. This time Reinbold put out a bet of 110,000 sending Ziegelbecker into the tank.

After several minutes, the clock was called and eventually, Ziegelbecker folded.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With play hand for hand and players two away from making the money, Ben Yu was all in preflop for his last 35,000 against Jose Castillo who had a covering stack.

Ben Yu: K♥Q♥J♣J♠
Jose Castillo: A♦A♠J♥2♥

"Look at all these vultures!" Yu joked as a crowd of players had gathered around the table to watch the run out.

The flop and turn ran out 4♦9♥3♠10♠ giving Yu more outs against Castillo's aces. The 7♠ river was a blank resulting in Yu's elimination.

Elsewhere, Jake Schindler was also eliminated at the same time. The money bubble has officially burst and all remaining players are guaranteed a min-cash of at least $16,088.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Travis Pearson was at risk for 86,000 against [Removed:548].

Travis Pearson: K♥K♣Q♦5♣
[Removed:548]: A♥A♣10♣2♦

Pearson had run into the aces of [Removed:549] and the J♣8♥4♣ flop wasn't looking promising. The 9♦ turn gave him a gutshot to go along with his kings and the K♦ landed on the river for him to remain sitting as he dragged the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Travis Pearson	187,000 81,000	81,000
[Removed:548]	112,000

The under-the-gun player raised to 25,000, which was called by James Martin Smith in the cutoff and raised by Jaspal Brar in the small blind to 110,000.

With action still on the side, the flop came 2♥3♥6♣. Brar went all in himself and the original raiser folded.

James Martin Smith: J♥J♦10♠9♦
Jaspal Brar: A♠A♥9♥4♠

The turn and river brought the 5♦ and the Q♥ sending Smith to the rail.

Dan Smith raised 35,000 in the hijack and Jay Harwood three-bet to 110,000 from the small blind. Smith called.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♣J♥7♣ and Harwood continued for 100,000. Smith had slightly less and snap-called.

Dan Smith: Q♠J♦J♠9♥
Jay Harwood: K♦K♥8♦3♣

Smith was way out in front with his flopped set of jacks and the 4♥ turn was looking promising but the dreaded K♣ hit the river, giving Harwood a set of kings and Smith headed to the payout desk.
