Ralph Perry Eliminated in 44th Place ($215,000)

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Ralph Perry
Ralph Perry

Ralph Perry raised to 525,000 under the gun, which Thomas Clack called in the cutoff, and Dylan Smith called in the big blind.

Perry continued for another 525,000 on a 1065 flop, which Clack once again called, but Smith check-folded.

The turn brought the 4, and Perry slowed down with a check. Clack responded with aggression, putting 2,000,000 into the middle, which Perry called.

The Q completed the board, and, after Perry checked, Clack moved all in, covering the 8,650,000 that Perry had in his stack. Perry utilised some of his time extensions before choosing to call.

Clack tabled 55 for a flopped set, which Perry could not beat, as he flipped over the 88 for just a pair of eights.

Savas Loses to "Some Famous K-Popper"

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Berkeley Yuan opened to 500,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Savas called in the big blind.

Savas checked on the flop of 757 and Yuan continued for 525,000. Savas check-raised to 1,100,000 and Yuan announced "raise" just as his time ran out before raising to 1,900,000.

He was disappointed when he was told he still owed a time bank, but he won the pot and showed JJ as Savas folded.

Table mate Jason Kornegay asked Yuan where he was from and was surprised to find out they are both from California.

"Someone said you were some famous K-popper," said Kornegay.
