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

Ryan Wolfson was all in for 117,000 from the cutoff and Spencer Champlin put him at risk on the button.

Ryan Wolfson: A♥K♣ All in
Spencer Champlin: A♦A♠

Wolfson had run into Champlin's aces as the flop came 8♦K♠A♣, giving Wolfson top two pair but Champlin a set. The rest of the board came J♦6♦ and Wolfson was eliminated.

"It was going in no matter what," Robert Mizrachi said.

"I could've had five times more chips and I was getting it in there," Wolfson said with a laugh as he headed for the payout desk.

Greg Merson's Main Event bounty was also recently claimed by Yuzhou Yin as the 2012 champ hit the rail.

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

Ren Lin moved all in for 90,000 under the gun and Brian Rast called in middle position.

"Lucky candy, please. If I lose I'm homeless," Lin said as he also put in his hotel room key in the middle of the pot while they waited to turn over their cards.

Ren Lin: A♦Q♣ All in
Brian Rast: 10♥10♠

The flop came 7♣J♣3♣ and Lin picked up a flush draw to go with his overcards. "One time, Lady Gaga," Lin pleaded.

"Too many outs," Rast said. The 7♦ turn was no help to Lin, while the river was the 6♦ and Lin was sent to the rail on the money bubble.

The remaining 74 players are now in the money.

Player	Chips	Progress
Brian Rast	660,000 190,000	190,000

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

On the bubble, Spencer Champlin fired 15,000 on a flop of 9♦Q♣Q♦ and was raised by Yuzu Wang to 65,000. Champlin called.

When the 10♥ hit the turn, Wang led out for 110,000, and Champlin made the call.

A third queen, the Q♥, landed on the river and Wang slowed down with a check. Champlin announced a bet of 310,000 chips and slid multiple stacks of colored chips into the pot. Wang went way into the tank and after around two minutes of deliberation, picked up a chip and slammed it into the pot for a call.

Champlin flipped K♣Q♠ for quads and Wang had no choice but to muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Spencer Champlin	1,050,000 673,000	673,000
Yuzu Wang	200,000 374,000	374,000

The pot was 80,000 on the board of 10♠8♣J♠6♦8♦, when Vitor Dzivielevski, sitting in the small blind, led out for 90,000. Alex Keating in early position took a minute to think about his decision before calling the river bet. Dzivielevski turned over AxQx, and Keating showed 5x5x for the best hand.

On a 4♠8♣6♣ flop, Daniel Weinman check-called a bet of 14,000 from Xiaohu Liu.

The turn was a 7♦ and Weinman check-called another bet of 40,000 from Liu.

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

Jamie Gold was all in for around 170,000 from the cutoff as Qui Nguyen put him at risk in the hijack.

Jamie Gold: A♣A♠ All in
Qui Nguyen: K♦J♦

Gold had picked up aces and was a big favorite to double up as the flop came K♠4♥4♦. The 9♠ turn was no help to Nguyen, but the river was the K♣ and Nguyen spiked a full house to send Gold to the rail and join his bounty with the one he earned for busting Huck Seed earlier.

Qui Nguyen	1,000,000 200,000	200,000
