Down to Four Tables in a Hurry
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Chip leader Nam Hyung Kim knocked out another short stack and Jose Colada vanished, as did two other players in a matter of minutes. The next to fall was then Pete Chen when he got the last 9,500 in from the small blind. He was min-raised by Yu Chung "Nevan" Chang before Takuya Shimabukuro isolated successfully with a shove for more than 50,000.
Pete Chen:
Takuya Shimabukuro:
The superior pair stayed ahead on a board as Shimabukuro made a straight. Moments later, Paul Newey was also eliminated and that brought the field down to the last 32 contenders.
