Level 16: 3,000/6,000/500 Ante

There were only 19 players in action but the fast pace slowed down once they hit hand-for-hand. Lisa Teebagy managed a double up through Javier Zarco, just after Zarco caught a double through Ryan Van Sanford.

It took 11 hands and more than 30 minutes before they finally hit the money with a double knockout. There were two all-ins called, one on Table 4 and one on Table 5. Steven Karp needed help with against Kevin Chan’s to stay alive.

He missed his over cards on the flop but added a flush draw. Chan dodged the remaining outs on the turn and river to send Karp out of the tournament.

While that hand was running, T.K. Miles was all-in with and dominated by Scott Efron’s . It was a drama-free board to send the hand to Efron. After counting down the stacks, Efron barely had Miles covered to send him out.

Since they went out on the same hand at different tables, Miles and Karp chopped up $1,121 for the co-18th place finish.

Those were the last double ups for awhile. Soon after it was Brett Bader heading out in 25th place followed by Jermaine Phang running his into Jason Brewer’s to exit in 24th.

Chip leader Josh Hillock took out the next one when he forced Trent Smith out in 23rd followed by Darryll Fish catching well. He called Jeffrey Cohen’s shove with and caught the flop against his .

Nancy Bernstein was gone in 21st spot against Ryan Van Sanford before another bad beat put them on the money bubble.

Casey Hunter was looking good for the double up with against Kevin Chan’s until the flop. The case locked up the hand for Chan to send Hunter out in 19th.

The tournament is now going hand-for-hand until they reach the money.
