Hand #21-- Brent Hanks

Duncan Bell called on the button for 30,000 and Brent Hanks checked in the big blind. The flop came {Q-Spades} {A-Hearts} {3-Spades} and when Hanks checked, Bell bet 60,000. Hanks called and the turn was the {Q-Clubs}. Both players checked, and when the {10-Spades} hit on the river Hanks bet 125,000 and Bell folded.

Hand # 19-- Duncan Bell

Steve Merrifield raised to 79,000 and Duncan Bell called in the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} and both players checked. The {J-Clubs} hit on the turn and Bell bet 150,000. Merrifield rubbed his face before mucking and conceding the pot to Bell.

Down to Six

The three eliminations have all taken place within the first forty minutes of this event and play doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. The crowd is lively and everyone seems excited to be here.

The left side of the table appears as if it may crack from all the weight on that side, with Merrified, Hanks, and Buchanan all holding over one million in chips and Bell with almost three million. With the recent crippling of Jason Sanders, that side of the table is certainly under some serious weight.

Hand #14-- Duncan Bell

Brent Hanks raised to 85,000 and Duncan Bell called from the big blind. The flop came {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} and after Bell checked, Hanks bet 125,000. Bell raised to 300,000 and Hanks chose to lay his hand down.

Hand #13-- Duncan Bell

Bell raised to 91,000 and Merrifield called from the small blind. The flop came {Q-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs} and both players checked. The {7-Clubs} turned and Merrifield bet 124,000. Bell called, and the {K-Spades} hit on the river and they checked it down. Bell's A-J ended up taking down the pot.
