Poker pro Nick Mitchell lost most of his stack with queens against aces early in the day, but he just found aces himself to get a much-needed double up. Mitchell open shoved for 18,900 with 
and a player called with 
. The board ran out 
and Mitchell faded a massive draw on the turn and river to increase his stack over 40,000.
Action folded around to Matthew Kelly, who by that point had dwindled to just 5,300, and he moved all in from the cutoff. Mikhail Timoshin was in the big blind and opted to defend.
Showdown
Timoshin: 
Kelly: 
Kelly was in the lead and managed to stay there on the 
flop, but the 
spiked on the turn to crush his dreams. He needed an ace on the river to stay alive, but it wasn't in the cards as the 
blanked.
We just saw David Peters take a huge blow to his stack after getting two-outted on the river.
On a flop of 
, two players checked to Peters, who led out for 6500. The player in seat nine called and Mandy Baker folded. The turn brought the and the player in seat nine moved all in for 28,300. Peters took very little time before making the call with , which was way in front of his opponent's 
. Peters needed to fade an eight to send the other player to the rail, but the binked on the river. Peters looked disgusted as he sent a pile of chips across the table. He's down to 28,000.

Players are now on their first 20-minute break of the day.
Action folded to Lisa Hamilton on the button and she put in a raise to 3,500, which Jared Hamby called from the big blind. Both players proceeded to check the 
flop before Hamby check-called a bet of 4,000 on the turn.
Hamby then checked the 
river and Hamilton took the opportunity to fire out a bet of 10,000. It was the magic number if she wanted a fold, because that's exactly what Hamby did.
The following players, who were eliminated between 160th-144th place, will each take home $2,465 for their efforts.
We happened upon the table of Vincent Van Der Fluit, who you may recall won a bracelet in Event #11 $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha, just in time to see the Dutchman raise to 3,500 from middle position. It proved to be enough as the rest of the field got out of the way.
"As a Ducthman, I'd just like to say these are definitely orange chips, not red," Van Der Fluit said as he held up two T5,000 chips. "The Dutch national color is orange."
The rest of the table seemed surprised he was Dutch, and were obviously oblivious that they were playing with a recent World Series of Poker bracelet winner.
