Dominic Kay has been eliminated by Nam Le. Le opened to 2,800 from UTG and was only called by Kay in the cut-off to see a flop. Le checked and Kay bet around 20,000, effectively a move all-in as he only had about another 13,000 behind. Le raised the extra and Kay called all-in.
Kay: for a pair and open-ended straight draw.
Le: for an over-pair.
The turn and river missed Kay's outs. Le up to 90,000 now.

If you remember back to our coverage of JP Kelly's final table in Event #3, Kelly was in contention to break Phil Ivey's record as the youngest player to win three gold bracelets. Unfortunately for Kelly, he fell in second place and the record still belongs to Ivey, his adversary in this hand.
Ivey raised to 2,700 and Kelly flat-called on the button. The flop came down and Ivey bet out 4,000. Kelly made the call to bring them to see the on the turn. Ivey didn't slow down and fired 11,000. Kelly made another call.
The river completed the board with the and Ivey fired out 25,000. Kelly thought for a minute or two and then moved all of his chips into the middle, totaling 80,300. Ivey asked how much the bet was for and then tanked a bit himself. He eventually tossed his hand into the muck and Kelly picked up the pot without showdown. He's now up to over 140,000 while Ivey slipped back to 302,000.
Charles Chua opened for 2,500 in the cutoff and William Reynolds made it 5,200 from the button. Back to Chua, who reraised a number of T5,000 chips, and before we could count them Reynolds had either pushed or called all in, and the cards were on their backs.

The enormously relieved Chua increased his stack to 85,000. Reynolds meanwhile had no chips left and headed for the door.
As the level came to a close so did Leo Margets' tournament. She had nearly 150k at the beginning of the level but, alas, she is now chip-less. She got it all-in with versus Bryn Kenney's but it was all over when the flop came a brutal . Two other players said after that they folded aces so she was stone-cold drawing dead on the flop. Kenney up to 114,000.
Fourth Baldwin brother, Eric, has doubled up to 65,000 courtesy of neighbour Freddy Deeb. In a battle of the blinds encounter, all the money went in with Baldwin's in dominating shape against the of Freddy Deeb.
The flop meant Baldwin needed to evade a six as well as the bullet, and with the close-but-no-cigar being followed by a , he did indeed survive.
With the board reading , Andrew Pantling bet 11,300 from the cutoff before Arnaud Mattern raised to 30,200 on the button. Pantling gave the Frenchman a long accusatory stare but then surrendered his hand as Mattern increased his stack to comfortably over the 120,000 mark.
