Fausto Valdez Eliminated In 9th Place ($16,324)

Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Fausto Valdez
Fausto Valdez

Fausto Valdez went all in for 3,500,000 in the cutoff and on the button Charbel Kanterjian called. Action folded around and the cards were tabled.

Fausto Valdez: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Charbel Kanterjian: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Kanterjian's flopped set was good enough for the pot as Valdez exited in 9th place.

Denys Chufarin Eliminated in 11th Place ($12,944)

Level 33 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Denny Chufarin
Denny Chufarin

Jonas Lopas raised before the flop before Denys Chufarin shoved for around 4,000,000. Ronald Ibbetson then acted out of turn and re-shoved.

"Did you say all in? I call," Lopas said as he showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. Chufarin had {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and Ibbetson {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Lopas had the shortest of the three stacks

The {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} board didn't provide any help to Chufarin or Ibbetson, and Lopas doubled up through both players, while Ibbetson eliminated the Day 1 chip leader.

Players are now redrawing for seats at the unofficial final table.

Justin Turner Eliminated in 12th Place ($10,347)

Level 33 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Justin Turner
Justin Turner

Action folded to Fausto Valdez in the small blind who shoved all in. Justin Turner in the big blind snap-called for about 2,000,000.

Justin Turner: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Fausto Valdez: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Valdez hit a three on the {k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, then made trips on the {3-Clubs} turn. In need of help, Turner didn't get it on the {j-Clubs} river. The stacks were counted down, and Valdez barely had Turner covered.

Daniel Buzgon Eliminated in 17th Place ($6,778)

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Daniel Buzgon
Daniel Buzgon

Daniel Buzgon moved all in for his last 1,300,000 and Ke Chen, next to act, re-shoved for 2,060,000. Ronald Ibbetson gave it some thought before folding {k-}{j-}.

Daniel Buzgon: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Ke Chen: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Buzgon hit a pair of nines on the board of {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, but it wasn't enough to overcome the two queens of Chen as he hit the rail in 17th.

Aaron Massey Eliminated in 18th Place ($6,778)

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Aaron Massey
Aaron Massey

Just as the field was redrawing for the final two tables, big stacks Aaron Massey and Anthony Koutsos clashed in a massive pot.

The two went heads-up to a flop of {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Massey bet 700,000, and Koutsos tank-called. Massey shoved on the {7-Spades} turn for around 3,000,000 and Koutsos snap-called.

Massey had top pair with {10-}{9-}, but Koutsos had flopped a set with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. The {10-Hearts} river gave Massey two pair, but it wasn't enough to avoid hitting the rail as Koutsos took over the chip lead.
