Down to 27 Players
Level 29
: 12,500/25,000, 0 ante
Craig Varnell made it 75,000 to go and was called by Dorel "DorelEl" Eldabach in the big blind. On a flop of 
, Eldabach check-raised to 290,375 and Varnell pushed to earn a call by the shorter-stacked Eldabach.
Dorel "DorelEl" Eldabach: 
Craig "GoBlue" Varnell: 
Varnell had flopped the straight and the 
turn gave him a flush, the 
river then failed to pair up Eldabach. In the blink of an eye, another two players busted and that reduced the field to the final 27 contenders.
