Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up with Daniel Daconti all in for 132,000, as well as Soheb Porbandarwala all in for 177,000, and Nan Li calling to put both players at risk.

Daniel Daconti: A♥J♣ All in
Soheb Porbandarwala: A♣K♣ All in
Nan Li: K♠Q♣

It was Porbandarwala who had both players dominated, looking for nearly a triple up. But after the board ran out Q♥6♦4♦3♦J♦ none of the players had a diamond in their hand, and Li had the best hand with a pair of queens, to get the double knockout.

Zhenjie Hou: J♥J♣ All in
Keith Crowder: A♥10♣

Hou was in a dominate position only needing to fade the one over card of Crowder, and once the board ran out J♣Q♥3♠8♥6♣ Hou improved to a set of jacks, to secure the double up.

Tyler Boyer

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to David Kazanjian in the cutoff, and he raised to 20,000. Once it folded to the big blind Christopher Delgrande, he three-bet all in for 240,000, which was snap called by Kazanjian to put Delgrande at risk.

Christopher Delgrande: A♠J♠ All in
David Kazanjian: 10♠10♥

It was a flip for Delgrande's tournament life and would need to improve against the pocket tens of Kazanjian. The K♥K♣2♣ flop was no help, but the A♥ on the turn put Delgrande the lead. When the river was the 9♣ Delgrande had the best hand with two pair, aces and kings to double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Kazanjian	785,000 295,000	295,000
Christopher Delgrande	495,000 495,000	495,000

Action folded to Alexander Queen on the button, and he raised all in for 119,000. Then Richard Milo also went all in for slightly less, which got the big blind to fold, and leave the two players heads up, with Milo at risk.

Richard Milo: 5♦5♣ All in
Alexander Queen: J♦J♣

Milo would need help to stay in the tournament, but once the board ran out Q♥6♥3♦7♦2♣ the pair of jacks of Queen were still best, and Milo was eliminated.
