Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Brian Yoon made the all-but-one-in move for 280,000 chips, holding onto his last red chip worth 5,000. Luis Yepez Carmona, who had a little over 300,000 chips in his stack gave a prolonged study of the board 2♦5♣K♣10♥Q♥.

Eventually, the clocked was called and midway through the 30-second countdown, Carmona made the call.

Yoon showed A♦3♦ for an ace-high bluff. Carmona let out a yelp, then turned over K♣9♣.

Yoon, a five-time WSOP bracelet winner, was immediately forced to toss in his lone remaining chip, as he was in the big blind the next hand. Genady Mayzel was the opponent.

Brian Yoon: K♠J♣ All in
Genady Mayzel: A♣J♦

Yoon hit a king on the flop, but the complete runout 6♠7♦K♦Q♦4♦ gave Mayzel a flush and the knockout.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Nicholas Marchington opened for 60,000 and got one caller in Lester Edoc in the big blind.

The dealer flopped Q♠K♠2♠. Edoc check-called Marchington's bet of 40,000.

The turn 4♦ dropped and both players checked. On the river J♠, Edoc checked once again but Marchington seemed to be distracted by what's going on in the other tables as no other table was dealing.

Apparently, the clock was paused to resolve an unknown issue. Marchington just checked. Edoc tabled Q♦7♥ while Marchington showed K♥10♥ for top pair.

The clock resumed soon after.

Nicholas Marchington	1,400,000 450,000	450,000
Lester Edoc	650,000 300,000	300,000

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Hand 1:

Heads up to a flop of K♥10♣J♣, Kevin Eyster check-called a bet of 125,000 from Brian James. Eyster called.

The turn brought the 2♦ and Eyster checked again. James pushed out a bet of 475,000. Eyster made a pained fold and claim to have Qx10x.

Hand 2:

Kevin Eyster opened the button to 60,000 and Carter Jones made the call in the big blind.

Heads up they saw the A♣J♦A♦ scroll across and Jones checked. Eyster continued for 50,000 and Jones called.

The turn snapped off the 3♥ and Jones checked again. Eyster doubled his previous bet and put out 100,000. Jones responded with a raise to 280,000. Eyster didn't take too long before declaring all in. Jones snapped.

Kevin Eyster: A♥4♠ All in
Carter Jones: 3♣3♠

Jones had drilled a boat against Eyster's trip aces and the 8♣ fell on the river, knocking Eyster out of the tournament.

Eyster bubbled the pay jump as only moments later, another player busted.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a table that hasn't had a player eliminated in an hour and a half, chips have been shuffling around and around.

Santiago Garza added to his stack with a nice win over Lester Edoc, betting 150,000 chips and getting a call on the river after he hit a full house on the turn with his pocket 3♦3♠ on a board of 6♣5♥6♦3♥9♦.
