Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante

On a board reading {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}, [Removed:339] moved all in, putting Dave Grana to a decision for his tournament life. After a moment, Grana decided to call.

Much to his disappointment, Grana realized he was drawing dead with {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} when [Removed:340] tabled {5-Spades}{4-Spades} for the nut straight.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Grana hit the rail.

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Kristan Mackiewicz was all in before the flop for 217,000 and got calls from [Removed:339] on the button and Lue Huang in the big blind.

The flop came {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and both players on the side checked. The turn was the {a-Clubs}. Huang reached into this stack and bet 156,000. [Removed:340] folded.

Huang tabled {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for two pair, but Mackiewicz showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for the nut straight, good for a triple up.

Bill Snead shoved his remaining 160,000 chips with queen jack and ran into Brian Bone's ace nine. There was an ace on the flop and he was down to just 28,000 chips.

In the very next hand, Snead went all in for 26,000 from under the gun and was called by [Removed:339]. [Removed:340] held pocket sevens and Snead tabled jack six off suit. The board ran out dry and Snead was eliminated.
