Last 10 Hands: 11-20

Philip Hilm won Hands #11 and #13, but Jerry Yang took over the chiplead on Hand #14 after he won a 11.39 million pot off of Hilm. On the very next hand, Hilm busted out after he missed a flush draw. That was the first time today where two players were all in. It was also the first time in 15 hands that a hand went to the river. Yang added to his big stack and jumped out to a tremendous lead. He had almost 1/3 of the total chips in play.

Hilm entered the final table as the chipleader and busted out 15 hands later. After losing Hand #14 to Yang, Hilm made an interesting call from the small blind with {8-Diamonds}

after Yang raised 1 million. Hilm flopped bottom pair and a flush draw and waited until the turn to make a move. After Jerry Yang bet 4 million on the turn, Hilm shoved all in on a semi-bluff. Yang had been taking a long time to make decisions over the last few days. That instance, he called rather quickly with top pair and top kicker. Hilm did not improve his hand and he busted out of the WSOP main event on a failed semi-bluff. Hilm's overaggressiveness cost him a shot at $8.25 million.

Rain Khan woke up and won consecutive hands before Yang won another one on Hand #19.
