On Table 1, Soheb Porbandarwala was facing an all-in and in the tank. The clock was called and his time expired, killing his hand.

Over on Table 3, Kirkwood Saccardo was in the tank as well, facing the 2.84 million all-in from Constanyinos Psallidas, who jammed on the river with a board of {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

Once again the clock was called and Saccardo folded before his time ran out.

Whitnah Doubles Thru Fitzsimons

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
David Whitnah
David Whitnah

On the turn with aboard reading {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Gary Fitzsimons announced he was all-in, having David Whitnah covered. After confirming was he thought was "all-in", Whitnah called, tabling {4-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the flopped set. Fitzsimons' {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} had been thoroughly cracked and he was left looking for another Ace or a five for the wheel.

River brought the {9-Clubs}, however, giving Whitnah a boat and the double-up.

Leslie Out in 28th Place, Just Missing Pay Bump

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Vivian Leslie
Vivian Leslie

Vivian Leslie was a short stack at the start of play and one of only two players with fewer than 1 million chips.

She held on as long as she could, but finally got her last chips (~2 big blinds) in holding {j-}{9-}. Soheb Porbandarwala looked her up with {4-Spades}{3-Spades} and caught a three on the board to take the pot.

Leslie will collect $6,302 for 28th place, just missing the pay jump. The next player eliminated will collect $8,135.

Her departure also means that Alida Veliu is the last woman sitting in this event.
