Kevin Cunningham Eliminated in 15th Place ($3,381)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Kevin Cunningham
Kevin Cunningham

With the blinds still at 5K/10K, Blake Napierala raised to 20,000 from early position and five players called to se a {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop. Kevin Cunningham was first to act and bet 100,000, leaving around 80,000 behind. Two players folded, and Blake Napierala min-raised to 200,000. Charles Johnson folded, putting the action back on Cunningham. He peeked back at the tournament clock a few times, thought a bit longer, and finally pounded his chips into the middle. He was nearly drawing dead.

Napierala: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Cunningham: {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The {6-Clubs} turn and {4-Hearts} river put the final nail in Cunningham's coffin, and he shook everyone's hand before making his exit.

Brad May Eliminated in 16th Place ($3,019)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Brad May
Brad May

Brad May and Buck Ramsey saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and May open jammed for 153,000. Ramsey called.

May: {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Ramsey: {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

May needed a jack or a diamond to survive, but it wasn't meant to be as the {7-Hearts} and {A-Spades} completed the board. May earns $3,019 for his 16th-place finish.

Jeff Hagen Eliminated in 17th Place ($3,019)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jeff Hagen
Jeff Hagen

With the board showing {10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}, Jeff Hagen was all in with pocket jacks against Lawrence Schumacher, who had come from behind with his {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. The {7-Clubs} river improved Schumacher to a full house, sending Hagen to the rail in 17th place.

Ivan Mamuzic Eliminated in 18th Place ($3,019)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ivan Mamuzic
Ivan Mamuzic

Scott Hosbach opened to 20,000 from middle position with the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Ivan Mamuzic moved in for his last 58,000 from the button with {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Hosback called, and his kicker held through the {4-Spades}{J-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} board.

Trushang Desai Eliminated in 19th Place ($2,415)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Trushang Desai
Trushang Desai

Trushang Desai raised his button, Sil Derubeis three-bet from the big blind and Desai shoved for around 200,000. Derubeis called.

Desai: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Derubeis: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} flop opened up a lot of opportunities for Desai, but he bricked the {J-Spades} turn and {6-Spades} river. With that, we're down to our final two tables.
