Choi Eliminated; Final Three Tables Reached
Limits: 25,000-50,000
Brian Tate raised under the gun, and was called by Kevin Choi in the cutoff, Patrick Stacey on the button, and Aloisio Dourado in the big blind.
All players kept drawing while Tate remained pat throughout all three draws, placing bets after the first two of them.
It then checked to showdown, where Tate's Q♦J♣8♥A♠ was good enough to take down the pot.
That hand left Choi with just 50,000, which he raised all in from under the gun the following hand. Patrick Stacey was the only other interested party, calling from the cutoff.
Choi drew two cards on the first draw, with Stacey only needing one. Stacey then remained pat on the second and third draws, while Choi took one card both times.
Kevin Choi: 8♥6♠2♦ 
Patrick Stacey: 9♦4♠3♣2♥
Choi failed to improve with the K♥ he drew, eliminating him in 25th and leaving three tables in play.
