Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Joseph Cheong got his last 70,000 all in preflop from the hijack and Sandhy Sitepu isolated by jamming all in over the top for around 140,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds all got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Sandhy Sitepu:
Joseph Cheong:

Cheong was looking to hold to stay alive, but that proved easier said than done as the flop paired Sitepu. Neither the turn nor river helped Cheong and he was eliminated in 171st place for $7,860.

Chad Holloway

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

During hand-for-hand play, whenever there was an all-in and a call, action was paused at the table. In just the second hand of hand-for-hand play, there were four all-ins situations at four different tables, with just one resulting in a double-up.

At the far end of the room, there was all-in action preflop between Andrew Kagan from the small blind and Taus Lilius from the button with Kagan's stack at risk.

Andrew Kagan:
Taus Lilius:

Kagan was ahead with his made hand of jacks until the flop fell pairing the king of Lilius. The turn left Kagan needing the case jack to stay alive but the completed the board on the river and ended his tournament.

At another table, Robert McLaughlin was all in for 60,000 with the and way ahead of [Removed:499]'s . However, the board ran out for the brutal river beat to send McLaughlin out the door.

Finally, Ran Ilani was all in and racing for his tournament life against Phachara Wongwichit.

Ran Ilani:
Phachara Wongwichit:

Ilani was looking to improve to stay alive, but that proved easier said than done as the board ran out .

Just like that three players hit the rail to burst the money bubble.
