Down to Two Tables on Day 1A
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
It only took seven minutes to reduce the field from 21 to 18 and another redraw will now take place for the last two tables. No longer in contention for that are Zudhija Nasic, Carmelo Vasta and Edgars Strupka. Nasic was first to fall and Vasta moved all in from the button for his last few big blinds, which Ricardo Chauriye called in the big blind.
Carmelo Vasta: 
Ricardo Chauriye: 
The board came 
and Chauriye's hand held up to eliminate Vasta. Moments later, Edgars Strupka also bowed out.
