Dan Wagner was eliminated by Ben B. in 17th place, leaving us with 16 players — one spot shy of the money. The final two tables are playing hand-for-hand.

Aitchison Dusts DeFrank

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Paul DeFrank in the small blind and he shoved his last 50,000 into the pot with the {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Scott Aitchison looked down at {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} in the big blind and called.

The {7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Diamonds} board improved Aitchison's hand and he sent DeFrank to the rail just shy of the money. With 17 players left we're now one spot away from the money bubble.

Carol Leonardi's run at back-to-back final tables just came to an end. Leonardi busted in 20th place after running head-first into Art Demmerley's flopped flush. Leonardi mucked her hand before the rest of the board was revealed and she made her exit from the tournament floor.

Banai Deep Again

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Short-stacked Tom Babiarz got the rest of his chips in preflop with the {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} against Siavash Banai's {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and the {5-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board sent another player to the rail. Banai, who finished sixth in last night's Event #2, is in good position to make a final table on back-to-back nights.
