Eli Elezra: /

Yuval Bronshtein: /

Brian Hastings: / 
/
Gavin Smith: / 
/
We caught the action on fourth when Eli Elezra bet and received three calls. Both Elezra and a short-stacked Brian Hastings got all in on fifth, meaning there was side action between Yuval Bronshtein and Gavin Smith headed to sixth. The latter ended up calling a bet from the former, and then Bronshtein check-called a bet of seventh.
Elezra: 
Smith: 
Bronshtein: 
Hastings: Muck
Smith made a straight on seventh to claim the high, and Bronshtein's seven-six was good for the low. Both Elezra and Hastings were eliminated on the hand, and since the latter was the shorter stack he was awarded 16th place while the former took 15th.

Level 20

David "Bakes" Baker: / 
/
Joe Tehan: / [djs9d2d] /
We caught the action on fourth when betting was capped and Joe Tehan was all in for his last 52,000.
Tehan:
Baker:
Tehan got it in with jacks, but he needed some help as Baker had him with a pair of aces. Neither fourth nor sixth helped Tehan, which meant he needed to catch on seventh to stay alive. Baker looked first and revealed the , meaning the aces and eights he hit on sixth were the best hand. Tehan could still win with either a diamond or jack on the river, but he must not have received either as he squeezed out his card and then sent his hand to the muck.
With that, we're down to the final 16, which means it's time for the two-table redraw.

Timothy Finne: / /
Yuval Bronshtein: /

The chips are flying with each and every hand, and no one's stack has went up and down more than Timothy Finne's. Unfortunately it just went down for the last time courtesy of Yuval Bronshtein.
It happened when the duo engaged in a raising war on third that resulted in Finne getting the last of his chips in. The cards were run out, and in the end, Finne ended up with jacks and eights, which were no good against Bronshtein's queens and nines.
Finne exited in 18th place for $9,583.

Tony Cousineau: / 
/
Yuval Bronshtein: / 
/
About ten minutes ago Tony Cousineau was down to 2,000, three-quarters of which went to the ante. Incredibly, he has worked that back up to 155,000!
In a recent hand, Cousineau and Yuval Bronshtein capped it on third for 30,000 apiece. Bronshtein then check-called a bet on fourth before leading out in fifth. Cousineau raised, Bronshtein reraise and Cousineau called off his remaining chips.
"You rolled up?" Bronshtein asked.
"Yeah," was the reply as Cousineau tabled the . Bronshtein then showed .
Sixth street was of no consequence, and Cousineau's on seventh didn't improve him. Bronshtein could still eliminated his opponent with either an ace or six on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as he received the on seventh. Ship the double to Cousineau.

Level 19

As we were busy capturing Tony Cousineau's up-and-down ride, Will Thompson was eliminated from the tournament. Thompson started the day in decent shape but only dwindled here in Level 19.
We don't have too many details on his demise, but we do know that Thompson, who hails from Toms River, New Jersey, was eliminated by "Crazy" Marco Johnson.
