Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Luke Mermin moved all in for 172,000 from middle position and chip leader Joe Huang called from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded, and the cards were turned on their backs.

Mermin:
Huang:

Mermin held the better ace, and he held strong on the flop. The turn was dangerous as it gave Huang a flush draw, but it proved a moot card as it was followed by the river.

Joe Huang	800,000 -200,000	-200,000
Luke Mernin	370,000 198,000	198,000

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Nader Wahdan, who was one of the bigger stacks to emerge from Day 1c, dwindled down to 160,000 when he shoved all in under the gun. Joe Huang, who has been one of the biggest movers and shakers here on Day 2, made the call from middle position, and the rest of the field got out of the way.

Wahdan:
Huang:

Wahdan was in a world of hurt, and his best bet of staying alive was to catch a six. That proved easier said than done though as the board ran out an unhelpful .

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Phanora Prom raised to 40,000 from the small blind and Michael Sanders pushed back by moving all in from the big. Prom, the shorter of the two, thought long and hard before calling off for 198,000 total.

Prom:
Sanders:

Prom needed help to stay alive, and he got it on the flop. The turn improved Prom to two pair, and he was pushed the pot after the blanked on the river.
