Jamie Bassett Eliminated in 15th Place ($8,823)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jamie Bassett
Jamie Bassett

Jamie Bassett open-jammed for 335,000 in the hijack and action folded to Brandon Lombardo, who asked for a count in the small blind. Upon getting the number, he re-jammed to fold out Orlando Romero in the big blind.

Jamie Bassett: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Brandon Lombardo: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

"Eight!" said Lombardo. Instead, the flop [tc3h2] brought even more outs as he picked up the nut flush draw. Lombardo's first request was fulfilled on the turn {8-Spades} and he faded the two outer on the river {7-Spades} to eliminate Bassett in 15th place.

Vilchez Filps Well Versus Tice

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jesse Vilchez had his winning hand of {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} displayed on a board of {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and was in the process of having his stack counted for a double. According to Jason Seitz and Sara Stohler, Vilchez got all of his chips into the middle on the button preflop versus Landon Tice, who was in the small blind.

"Pocket jacks versus ace-king," confirmed Seitz, mentioning Tice's hand. Vilchez now finds himself over 3.3 million while Tice has dipped to 4.5 million.

Josias Santos Eliminated in 16th Place ($8,823)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Josias Santos
Josias Santos

Josias Santos opened on the button and was called by Abraham Hichman, who defended his big blind. The flop came {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} and Hichman checked to Santos, who made a continuation-bet of 165,000. Hichman check-jammed to put Santos to a decision for the rest of his chips and Santos balked for a moment before deciding to call it all off.

Josias Santos: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Abraham Hichman: {k-Spades}{3-Spades}

Despite flopping top set, Santos was behind Hichman's king-high flush. He needed the board to pair to stay alive and it did not as the turn {9-Hearts} and river {3-Clubs} completed the runout to result in his elimination from the tournament in 15th place.

Hichman Successfully Sets the Trap; Two Tables Remain

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Sean Yu
Sean Yu

Abraham Hichman limped in under the gun and action folded around to Josias Santos, who limped behind on the button. Action was then on Sean Yu, who announced he was all in from the small blind. Hichman reraised all in and Santos folded, spelling the bad news for Yu.

Sean Yu: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Abraham Hichman: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Hichman found a small sweat as the flop {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and turn {8-Hearts} brought a real possibility of a backdoor straight, but the river {8-Spades} was safe and Yu found himself out in 17th.

Yu Picks Off a Bluff

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Sean Yu opened in the cutoff and received a call from Orlando Romero, defending his big blind. The flop fell {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Romero checked. Yu made a continuation-bet of 135,000 and Romero called.

Action checked through the turn {5-Diamonds} and Romero fired out a bet of 175,000 on the river {j-Hearts}. Yu asked how much and received confirmation, and then took about 10 seconds to drop in two T100,000 chips to call.

Romero flipped over {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for nothing more than king high, and Yu tabled {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} to take down the pot with a pair of eights.

Santos Doubles Through Afanasenka; Afanasenka Busts

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Raman Afanasenka
Raman Afanasenka

Raman Afanasenka opened the action with a raise to 100,000 in the cutoff and was called by Josias Santos, who defended his big blind. The flop dropped {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and Santos check-called a continuation-bet of 135,000 from Afanasenka.

Santos checked again on the turn {6-Clubs} and Afanasenka slid forward his entire stack of chips, enough to put Santos all in. Santos immediately dropped a chip in to call.

Josias Santos: {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Raman Afanasenka: {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Afanasenka missed his double-gutter on the river {j-Clubs} and Santos shipped the double with his aces up. Afanasenka was left with only a few big blinds and lost them a couple of hands later, busting to Sean Yu.

Shin Sends Messing To the Payout Desk

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Keith Messing
Keith Messing

Keith Messing was just eliminated from the tournament by Mike Shin after Shin shoved all in from middle position and Bassett called off his last 580,000.

Keith Messing: {k-}{q-}
Mike Shin: {a-}{a-}

Shin finished where he started, taking down the pot with his aces and eliminating Messing in 20th.

Moments later, Desmond Haynes was eliminated by Landon Tice after his ace-queen was unable to hold against Tice's ace-ten. A ten came on the flop and that was all she wrote for Haynes. With his elimination, 18 players now remain and two more eliminations are needed before the final two tables are reached.
