Eric Wasserson Eliminated in 7th Place ($21,880)

Nível 18 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Eric Wasserson lost the bulk of his chips with A♠9♥ when he called the all in of Dong Meng, who held 10♦9♠. Meng flopped a ten and when the turn and river bricked, he doubled through Wasserson.

The very next hand, Wasserson was in the small blind and when it folded to him, he decided to go all in blind, as he was only left with a few hundred thousand in chips. Kevin Eyster made the call in the big.

Eric Wasserson: 9♥4♦
Kevin Eyster: A♦5♦

The flop rolled out A♥Q♥Q♦, which was bad news for Wasserson. When the turn peeled the 6♥ Wasserson was left with no outs as the useless 8♣ rolled off on the river.

Drew Gonzalez Eliminated in 8th Place ($16,790)

Nível 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

After Kevin Eyster opened to 160,000, Drew Gonzalez moved all in for 650,000. The action folded back around to Eyster who thought for a second before making the call to put him at risk.

Drew Gonzalez: J♥J♦
Kevin Eyster: A♥6♥

Gonzalez was a favorite to double up in this spot, but the flop of 2♦A♠5♣ provided Eyster with an ace to take the lead.

The runout of 4♣3♥ gave both players a straight on the river, and the table thought they chopped it, but Eyster held the six for the bigger straight to take the pot, eliminating Gonzalez in 8th place.

Taylor Black Eliminated in 10th Place ($10,300)

Nível 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Taylor Black went all in and when asked how much, he said, "Nine big blinds."

David Williams said, "Well, if you put it like that, I have to call."

Taylor Black: 10♥10♣
David Williams: K♦J♥

The flop held true for Black as it fanned across 3♥2♣7♥. The turned 6♠ was fine for him too. At this point Williams split his hand apart and pushed the J♥ above where the river would land and when the J♦ rolled off he reminded everyone that it was a "skill game".

Black was eager to get back on the felt and rushed to try to late register the $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em happening just a few tables over.

Xizhe Yuan Eliminated in 11th Place ($10,300)

Nível 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

After an open to 125,000 by Eric Wasserson, Xizhe Yuan moved all in for 960,000 and action folded back around to Wasserson.

Wasserson then went into the tank for around 30 seconds before he finally shook his head and made the call to put Yuan at risk.

Xizhe Yuan: K♦J♣
Eric Wasserson: A♣9♠

Yuan would need some help to stay alive, but the flop of 2♥A♦4♦ made it a lot harder as Wasserson paired his ace. The 4♥ on the turn left him drawing dead and the 5♦ completed the board as he headed to the payout desk in 11th place.

Nível 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Mason Vieth and Kevin Eyster had a battle of the blinds, completing their raising battle with an all in and a call. Vieth seemed to sense bad news, as he was heard hoping his opponent had big slick but it wasn't the case.

Mason Vieth: Q♣Q♦
Kevin Eyster: A♣A♦

Veith was up and out of his seat sweating the board and hoping for a queen but Eyster's aces held when the board ran out 4♥J♣6♥4♣3♠ and Veith went on his way.

Jesse Lonis Eliminated in 15th Place, Jack Salter in 14th Place ($8,240)

Nível 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jack Salter moved all in preflop for 435,000 and action folded to Jesse Lonis, who had just lost most of his stack to Wesley Fei a few hands before. Lonis moved all in for slightly less, and Dong Meng shoved over the top, covering both.

"It's a bit of a s**t sandwich over there, isn't it?" James Bullimore joked at Drew Gonzalez, who was last to act and faced with three all-ins.

Gonzalez shook his head and laughed as he tossed in his cards and the other three tabled their hands.

Jesse Lonis: A♣10♠
Jack Salter: K♦Q♣
Dong Meng: A♠J♦

"Wow, the king-queen is so live!" Salter declared as he saw what he was up against.

Unfortunately for him and Lonis, the board ran out 8♦3♣2♦4♠7♠ for Meng to scoop the pot with his ace-jack high and they were both sent to the payout desk.

Jack Maleeh: 4♦4♥
Brady Hinnegan:K♦K♠

When Maleeh saw what he was up against, he sighed and began to gather his belongings as he knew hew would need a lot of help to survive. Unfortunately, the runout of Q♥6♥J♠8♠5♦ did not save him and he was eliminated in 16th place.
