They are down to six players in Event 19 ($150 No-Limit Hold’em), with the blinds at 5,000-10,000 and a 1,000 ante.
Alan Feller went out in 10th place on a bad beat. He got it all in preflop with K-K against then-chipleader Michael Chaffe’s A-Q, but an ace on the river ended his tournament. Chaffe increased his lead at the time to 515,000 (85 big blinds).
Michael Bange (9th), Jennifer David (8th), and Harold Lam (7th) followed Feller to the rail during the next hour.
Oneil McCalla, who was the shortest stack with 10 players remaining, is now the chipleader. Here are the approximate chip counts of the final six players:
