Mark Warren Eliminated in 17th Place ($9,748)

Mark Warren was down to 203,000 just now when he open-raised all in from middle position and got one caller in Douglas MacKinnon sitting in the hijack seat.

Warren had {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and MacKinnon {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} — not a bad start for Warren, as he now had an open-ended straight draw. But the turn was the {5-Hearts} and river the {2-Hearts}, and Warren leaves us in 17th.

Patricia Cahill Eliminated in 18th Place ($9,748)

Not long after the redraw to two tables, Patricia Cahill raised to 35,000 from middle position, then Jeffrey Wicker reraised to 80,000 from the button. The blinds got out, then Cahill shoved all in for about 340,000 and Wicker called.

Cahill held {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and looked in good shape to double up as Wicker held {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. But the flop came {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} and the turn brought the {10-Diamonds}, giving Wicker a straight. The river was the {4-Clubs}, and Cahill was eliminated.

Travell Thomas Eliminated in 19th Place ($8,150)

Travell Thomas's Main Event run has ended in 19th, as has a remarkable comeback that saw him begin Day 2 with just 13,300 chips, then survive all of the way to the final three tables and very nearly the chip lead.

The last hand for Thomas began with Adam Teasdale opening for 35,000 from the cutoff seat, Thomas reraising to 100,000 from the small blind, Teasdale four-betting to 280,000, Thomas shoving for 863,000 total, and Teasdale calling to leave himself just a little behind.

Teasdale: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Thomas: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

It was the biggest pot of the tournament thus far, and after the {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop Thomas was still ahead and primed to take over the chip lead. But the {Q-Clubs} fell on the turn to give Teasdale a Broadway straight, and after the {10-Diamonds} river Thomas was out.

The final 18 players are now redrawing for seats around the last two tables. We'll get you their new seating arrangement shortly.

William Galler Eliminated in 20th Place ($8,150)

William Galler has fallen in 20th, his end coming via two hands in quick succession.

In the first, Patricia Cahill — one of two remaining women in the field (along with Cathy Dever) — open-raised all in for 171,000 from under the gun, and Galler called the raise from the big blind. Cahill had {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Galler {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, and when the board came {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Cahill's queens were best and Galler was down to just 40,000.

All in soon thereafter with {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} against Ed Modlin's {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, queens again proved Galler's undoing as the board ran out {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Bluffs Abound

A couple of interesting hands just occurred in which players bluffed, were successful, and subsequently showed.

In one, Cathy Dever opened for 37,000 from middle position, Feming Chan called from the cutoff, then Aaron Overton reraised to 102,000 from the small blind. Dever got out of the way, but Chan stuck around.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{K-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Overton led for 100,000. Chan made it 222,000 to go, and Overton responded by shoving all in, thereby forcing a fold from Chan.

Overton then showed his hand… {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. "Let's go!" said Overton.

In the other hand, Jack Thomas started things with a raise to 45,000 from under the gun and got a single caller in Pete Rios playing from the hijack seat. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and another check from Thomas, and Rios responded with a bet of 55,000. Thomas then check-raised to 200,000, and Rios called.

The river was the {6-Spades}. Thomas led with a bet of 200,000 this time, and Rios came back with an all-in reraise, which caused Thomas to fold.

Rios then showed his hand… {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}! He'd been counterfeited on the end and had pushed with his four kicker.

Jeffrey Einsidler Eliminated in 21st Place ($8,150)

When folded to Jeffrey Einsidler raised to 41,000 from the button, then Cathy Dever reraised all in from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Einsidler tanked for some time before finally calling all in for 259,000 total.

Einsidler held {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and was looking for hearts, a queen, or some other combination of favorable community cards to help him overcome Dever's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. But the board came {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and Einsidler hits the rail.

Just 20 players remain.

Overton Doubles Through Kim

The table folded around to Aaron Overton on the button who checked his cards, then pushed all in for 302,000. Sung Kim called the raise from the small blind, the big blind folded, and the players tabled their hands.

Overton: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Kim: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

Overton needed help to survive, and the flop brought some by coming {3-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} to pair Overton's jack. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and river the {10-Diamonds}, and Overton doubled up.
