A Trio of Eliminations Occur; Hand-for-Hand Begins
With play moving into Level 20 (6,000/12,000/1,500), Jon "jetsfan411" Borenstein" open-jammed for 124,000 in the small blind and received a call from "MBohmerwald23" in the big blind for nearly all of their chips.
Jon "jetsfan411" Borenstein: 
"MBohmerwald23": 
Borenstein saw his number of outs get cut in half on the flop 
, and the turn 
cut those three down to zero. The river 
completed the runout to make his elimination official and bring the tournament down to 12.
On the very next hand, the short-stacked "Jinxy" was eliminated; meanwhile, "Pktceaser" went from hero to zero in a matter of minutes, doubling "Got_Milk" in the process. They were eliminated on the adjacent table in 10th place, and nine players now remain as a result, meaning just one more elimination is needed to make it into the money and reach the final table. Hand-for-hand play is in effect until that occurs.
