A player raised from middle position, Raj Vohra reraised from the small blind to 54,000, and the middle-position player moved all in for about 150,000.

Vohra called with 9h9c, and his opponent turned over AsAd, needing the aces to hold to stay alive.

The board came 9s7h3d8c2c, and Vohra flopped a set of nines to win the pot and eliminate his opponent from the tournament.

Raj Vohra  –  560,000  (70 bb)

With about 300 players remaining from a field of 2,482, the average chip stack is about 331,000 (41 bb). The field is in the money, with the remaining players guaranteed at least $6,195 each.

There will be a 90-minute dinner break after this level (around 6:55 pm), and action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 20, around 12:30 am.
