Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Scott Seiver raised to 75,000 in the hijack and was called by Artur Martirosian in the small blind and David Benyamine in the big blind.

The flop fell 2♦J♣3♠ and the action checked to Seiver. He jammed in his stack of 155,000 chips. Martirosian spent one time bank before folding with 75,000 chips back, and big stack Benyamine quickly followed suit.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Krzysztof Magott's final chips flew in on a flop of J♠3♦K♣ and he was looked up by Dan Shak.

Krzysztof Magott: K♦9♣8♣7♦ All in
Dan Shak: A♠A♣6♦6♣

Shak made a set on the 6♠ turn to lock up the pot, and the meaningless 5♠ river completed the board as Magott made his way to the exit.

At an adjacent table, Taylor Wilson jammed for 250,000 into a 300,000 pot on a flop of 6♦8♥9♣ and was called by Sean Winter

Taylor Wilson: A♠9♠8♣7♣ All in
Sean Winter: K♣Q♠J♣10♥

The Q♥ turn made Winter the nut straight, and Wilson failed to fill up on the 5♥ river as he went home.

Shahar Levi raised the button to 90,000 and Kabeelan Rajamurthy then repotted in the small blind. Levi pushed all in and Rajamurthy called for around 400,000.

Kabeelan Rajamurthy: A♦J♦J♠8♣ All in
Shahar Levi: A♣A♥4♦2♥

The aces held on a board of Q♦6♣2♠10♥7♠ and that spelled the end for Rajamurthy. Several other notables have also vanished as of late.

Matthew Wantman got his stack of 230,000 chips in preflop and was called by Jonathan Azoulay.

Matthew Wantman: A♥A♦8♠6♠ All in
Jonathan Azoulay: A♠K♥J♣2♠

Azoulay flopped a plethora of outs on the 9♥10♠K♦ flop, but the 3♥6♣ did not bring any of them as Wantman's aces held.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The frantic action has slowed down somewhat but three tables broke since the end of the late registration with some 64 players remaining. Among the latest entries was Daniel Perkusic and he has joined the big stacks while Jared Bleznick plummeted to a shorter stack as a result.

The cards of Bleznick were mucked already as he paid out a double for 645,000 to Perkusic, who had A♦Q♠5♠4♦ for a full house on the Q♦4♥3♠A♣4♠ runout.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action was picked up as Kilian Loeffler's cards were swept away on a board of J♠7♥6♦7♠K♠.

He had gone all in for his final chips before the river and had been looked up by Danny Tang. Tang had tabled K♥K♣J♥6♣ and made a full house on the river to eliminate Loeffler.

On another table, Daniel Negreanu was eliminated from the tournament, after which he happily obliged to take a picture with a fan.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Eric Kurtzman and Phil Ivey had created a pot of 345,000 when a flop of Q♣A♠2♠ was fanned. Kurtzman checked from middle position to Ivey on the button, and the latter made a pot-sized bet.

Kurtzman called and check-called Ivey's all-in for 40,000 on the 7♦ turn as well.

Phil Ivey: A♥Q♦6♥3♦ All in
Eric Kurtzman: A♣7♥6♣4♠
