Liu Eliminates Baw, Crosses Nine-Million Chip Mark

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Wing Liu was all-in from early position and was called by Mark Baw in middle position.

Wing Liu: A?K?
Mark Baw: A?Q?

No change on the J?6?3? flop, but Baw would take the lead on the Q? turn. However, that lead would be short-lived as Liu would catch-up on the 10? river to make a Broadway straight.

Fu Doubles Up Cormack

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Jie Fu jammed his stack of 3,700,000 from under the gun before Noel Cormack called off for less on the button. The blinds got out of the way to put Cormack officially at risk.

Noel Cormack: A?9?
Jie Fu: K?Q?

Cormack was marginally ahead with his ace-high hand, that is until the flop came Q?7?4?, pairing up Fu, who immediately asked the dealer for "no ace". His wish was not granted as the turn came A? with the 5? river completing the board.

A Handful of Counts

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Shannon Boone
Shannon Boone

Shannon Boone remains the lady to best, as she's steadily climbed the ranks from Day 1 to Day 2.

Preston McEwen, who entered the day with the chip lead has also been chipping up quietly but we can be sure his rail will cause a ruckus if he makes the final table.

Dalberth Eliminated by Perkins

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Christopher Perkins moved all in from under the gun before Michael Dalberth called off for his remaining chips one seat over. The remaining players got out of the way, putting Dalberth at risk.

Michael Dalberth: K?J?
Christopher Perkins: A?Q?

Dalberth would need to improve to survive but failed to do so as the board ran out 7?5?10?9?9?, handing Perkins the pot and elimination.

Russo Eliminated by Winchester

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Francois Russo moved all-in before the flop from early position for 1,300,000 and was called by Daniel Winchester in middle position.

Francois Russo: A?J?
Daniel Winchester: A?K?

Russo would need a jack in order to avoid the payout desk, but it would not come to pass as the final runout was 7?9?5?9?6?.

Post Break Bust Outs

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Darrel Giffith made a swift exit after getting his queens cracked by the 4x5x his opponent held.

Evelyn Cole flopped a pair but it wasn't quite good enough and she went out in 45th place, just barely missing a pay jump.

The short stacks continue to consolidate as the players approach the redraw at the final three tables.

Mirsaidi Felled in Blind-on-Blind Encounter

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action folded around to Enjamin Mirsaidi in the small blind and he moved his short stack into the middle. Marc Desantis quickly called in the big blind to put Mirsaidi at risk.

Enjamin Mirsaidi: Q?9?
Marc Desantis: A?K?

Mirsaidi was behind but did have two live cards to work with. The 9?J?3? flop immediately vaulted Mirsaidi into the lead, one that he maintained on the 10? turn. The Q? river, however, improved Desantis to Broadway, bringing Mirsaidi's tournament to a close.
