Another Pair of Eliminations Brings Return of Hand-for-Hand Play
Hand #1: In Level 20 with blinds of 3,500/7,000 and an ante of 875, "pompii23" opened to 14,000 in the hijack and action folded to "NikkieBlueEyes" in the big blind, who defended. The flop came 
and "NikkieBlueEyes" overbet-jammed for 61,135. "pompii23" called.
"NikkieBlueEyes": 
"pompii23": 
"NikkieBlueEyes" missed their flush draw and overcard as the runout finished 
, ultimately giving "pompii23" sixes full as "NikkieBlueEyes" was eliminated in 11th place.
Hand #2: A moment later on the adjacent table, "karish33" open-jammed for their last 53,298 in the cutoff and "Batzz88" called on the button, being the only player to do so.
"karish33": 
"Batzz88": 
The flop 
gave "Batzz88" top pair but also gave "karish33" four new outs in exchange for the three they had preflop. However, it all proved to be for naught as the turn 
and river 
left the situation unchanged to bring about their elimination from the tournament in 10th place.
With nine players remaining, the tournament is now on the final table bubble and hand-for-hand play is in effect once more for the two tables left in play.
