Level 15:  3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 ante
Players Remaining:  164 of 1,180

Cherish Andrews

The under-the-gun player moved all in for about 22,000, and Cherish Andrews moved all in over the top from the hijack for 69,000. Everyone else folded.

The UTG player showed 8c7c, but he was dominated by the Ad7s of Andrews as he faced elimination.

The board came JsJhJd8dAs — the UTG player celebrated as he spiked an eight on the turn, but he was quickly gutted as Andrews spiked an ace on the river to win the pot with a higher full house, jacks full of aces. The UTG player was eliminated from the tournament.

Cherish Andrews  –  106,000  (18 bb)

With 164 players remaining from a field of 1,180, the average chip stack is about 288,000 (48 big blinds). The final 148 players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $7,270 each.

There will be a 90-minute dinner break after Level 16 (6:30 pm), and action will continue tonight until the end of Level 20 (about 12:15 am).
