Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jason Riesenberg was particularly short in chips, as Ido Aboudi had just doubled through him in the hand prior.

Riesenberg commited himself with a raise in early position and he was faced with a reraise from Ido Aboudi, who was on the button. Thomas Taylor then joined the fray by potting it in the blind. Riesenberg didn't have much of a choice and Aboudi put his remaining chips in play as well.

Jason Riesenberg: A♠Q♠9♣8♥
Ido Aboudi: A♣A♥5♣5♥
Thomas Taylor: K♦K♥6♠7♦

The board was a sweat for Riesenberg as it spread the 7♣Q♥6♥, giving him top pair and a straight draw, Taylor also flopped two pair to pull ahead of the aces. The J♥ on the turn pulled Aboudi back ahead as he made his flush. The river, however, brought the 6♣, making a boat for Taylor and a stunned Riesenberg made his way to the payouts, followed shortly by an equally stunned Aboudi.

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Kevin Kent and Stephen Nahm were heads-up through the 10♥7♣5♦ flop, with the 4♥ turn producing a bet from Kent to 225,000 and Nahm raising the pot to 1,155,000.

Kent called to the J♠ river, where Nahm immediately moved all in. Kent took some time before deciding to make the call for his tournament life.

Kevin Kent: 10♠9♥7♥5♠
Stephen Nahm: Q♥10♠10♣8♣

Kent's two pair were no good, missing his flush draw to finish in 22nd place.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jonathan Hanner was all in and at risk against Grant Hart to his left.

Jonathan Hanner: K♥J♣10♥4♣
Grant Hart: 9♣9♦7♣2♦

The 3♥9♠7♥ flop gave Hart a set of nines, while Hanner could not improve on the A♣ turn or 10♠ river to end his run in 21st place.

Jerome Hickel Eliminated in 20th Place ($10,277)

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On a flop reading K♥5♠10♥, Jerome Hickel and Dan Matsuzuki got all their chips in the middle, putting Hickel at risk.

Jerome Hickel: A♥9♥10♠2♠
Dan Matsuzuki: A♦K♠6♥5♦

Hickel had front and back door flush draw's and celebrated when the Q♥ fell on the turn, giving him the nut flush.

Unfortunately for him, Matsuzuki still had outs, though, and the wind was taken out of Hickel's sails as his opponent boated up with the 5♥ on the river.

Hickel recently made the final table of the $600 PLO Deepstack here at the WSOP and finished in eighth place. He can tack on another amazing run this summer and we might very well see him again this summer. 19 players remain on the hunt for the gold.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Michael Dentale moved his short stack in from under the gun and was heads-up for his tournament life against Jonathan England.

Michael Dentale: A♣Jx10♣10x
Jonathan England: K♠K♣Q♦J♣

Dentale's flopped set wasn't enough on the 9♥3♦10♠4♠8♠ runout as England rivered the nut straight, sending him to the rail in 18th place.
