"ghoul" Out in 22nd To Reach Direct Bubble

In Level 22 with blinds of 6,000/12,000 and an ante of 1,500, "ghoul" saw action fold around to them on the button and jammed for 160,000. "Core4" re-jammed in the small blind and forced a fold behind to send the two players off to the races.

"ghoul": {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
"Core4": {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

"ghoul" stayed ahead on the flop {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} but saw an unfortunate turn {a-Clubs}, giving "Core4" top pair and leaving them with one shot at six outs to stay in the tourney. None of them came on the river {5-Spades} and they were eliminated from the tournament in 22nd place. Just one elimination is needed to make it into the money, meaning the tournament has reached the direct bubble.

"mooseman1710" Finishes "chen718" To Bring About Hand-For-Hand Play

"chen718"
"chen718"

In Level 21 with blinds of 10,000/20,000 and an ante of 2,500, "mooseman1710" opened to 22,000 and "chen718" three-bet shoved for 137,000. "mooseman1710" called.

"chen718": {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
"mooseman1710"

After losing a coin flip for half of their stack just a few hands prior, "chen718" found themselves at risk for their tournament life in another coin-flip situation. Once again, they wound up on the wrong end of the coin as the board ran out {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades}, leaving their big-slick dry to result in their 23rd-place finish in the tournament.

With 22 players now remaining, two eliminations are needed for play to reach the money. Hand-for-hand play is in effect across the three remaining tables until two more players go bust.

Lillis Stays Alive

"Bagels"
"Bagels"

In Level 21 with blinds of 10,000/20,000 and an ante of 2,500, "chen718" opened to 22,000 in middle position and action folded around to James ��Bagels�� Lillis, who three-bet jammed for 110,000 in the big blind. "chen718" called.

James ��Bagels�� Lillis: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
"chen718": {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}

The two were off to the races and Lillis saw a favorable and sweat-free runout of {7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} give him top pair, top kicker and score him a double. Twenty-three players still remain, with one more elimination needed for hand-for-hand play to begin and three more needed to reach the money.

"BlackCoffee" Burnt

In Level 20 with blinds of 4,000/8,000 and an ante of 1,000, action folded around to "BlackCoffee" in the small blind and they jammed for 75,000. "mooseman1710" was in the big blind and went into the tank, dipping into their time bank momentarily before finding a call.

"BlackCoffee": {9-Spades}{7-Spades}
"mooseman1710": {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

"mooseman1710" found their call to be the correct one and the board ran out {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} to leave their king high on top, knocking out "BlackCoffee" in 24th place and earning their bounty to go with the pot of 160,000.

"Mdoan21": {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Michael ��IIIIIIIIIIIII�� Haberman: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
a_stormy_knight": {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Meanwhile, "a_stormy_knight" was also eliminated from the tournament to bring the field down to 24 across three full tables. Just four more eliminations are needed for play to reach the money.
