Claudio Kalili moved all in from the button for about 1.85 million, and Howard Mash called from the small blind with KdKc. Kalili turned over AsQc, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came AdJh6sQd10c — Kalili paired his ace on the flop and his queen on the turn, but Mash rivered an ace-high straight to win the pot and eliminate Kalili in 14th place.

There was a cooler situation between Peter Fellows and Greg Levine, as they got it all in preflop with AsAh for Fellows and KhKc for Levine, and both players had a little more than 2.5 million.

The board came 10c9c6dJc3s — Levine turned a gutshot straight-flush draw, but improved no further. The pocket aces held up for Fellows to win the pot and double up to about 5.2 million, leaving Levine with less than a big blind.

A few hands later, Levine was forced all in preflop from the big blind in a three-way pot involving Alcides Gomez (UTG+1) and Justin Bianco (small blind).

The flop came 9d9c2s, Bianco checked, Gomez bet, and Bianco folded.

Levine turned over Ah7s for ace high, but he needed to catch something runner-runner to stay alive against Gomez’s 10s9s (trip nines).

The turn card was the As, giving Levine two outs to stay alive, but the river card was the 10d. Gomez won the pot with his trip nines to eliminate Levin in 13th place.

Alcides Gomez  –  3,250,000  (26 bb)
Greg Levine  –  Eliminated in 13th Place  ($13,235)

With 12 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 3,500,000 (28 big blinds).

Action will continue tonight until they reach the final nine players for tomorrow afternoon’s WPTDeepStacks final table, which begins at 2:00 pm and will be live-streamed on a 30-minute delay.
