Level 17 Update: Getting Close to the BubbleMay 29, '09 Blinds: 9,000-18,000 with a 2,000 ante. Players Remaining: 29 out of 201 Chip Counts: 1. Justin Bonomo — 2,200,000 Average Chip Count: 868,965 Notable Eliminations: Ali Eslami Big Hands: David Chiu Doubles Through Greg Raymer Just a few moments into the level, David Chiu was all in holding A-K against the A-9 of Greg Raymer. The board bricked for both players and Chiu doubled up to 260,000. Raymer is still far and away the chip leader with 2.5 million. Sami Kelopuro Busts to Lex Veldhuis Lex Vedlhuis raised to 45,000 and Sami Kelopuro moved all in for his last 300,000. Veldhuis made the call and showed AJ for a dominating hand against Kelopuro’s A9. The board came KK7K8 and Veldhuis came out on top, sending Kelopuro to the rail out of the money. Veldhuis has closed the gap on the chip leaders with 1,405,000. Alan Sass Hits the Rail Alan Sass jammed it in preflop with A6 and David Pham made the call with AK. A king on the flop and a blank on the turn had Sass drawing dead. Pham now sits with a slightly healthier 420,000. Double Elimination For David Baker Kirill Gerasimov was short stacked and moved all in holding K5. Evan McNiff tried to isolate behind him holding A-8 offsuit. Unfortunately for both players, David Baker woke up with pocket queens behind them and made the call. The flop came AJ2 giving McNiff the best hand with a pair of aces and Gerasimov the nut flush draw. Visably upset, Baker hit his slim outs on the turn when the Q hit. The river was a safe 7 and Baker took out both players. Marco Johnson Busts to Justin Bonomo Marco Johnson was all in holding K10 against the AQ of Justin Bonomo. The board didn’t help Johnson and he exited from the tournament floor. Bonomo now has 2.2 million. Nam Le Busts In a Suck, Re-Suck Situation Nam Le got it all in on a AK10 flop holding AJ against the K10 of Dani Stern. The turn was great for Le when the J hit, but the K on the river sent Le to the rail. Stern is now sitting with 1.25 million.

He was up against J-10, meaning he needed to avoid a queen or seven. A queen came on the turn, and the river was a blank. Josephy had to give his opponent 174,000 chips in the hand, and was left witht just 60,000 left. He later moved all in with K-J and was up against A-K of Dag Martin Mikkelsen. Josephy flopped an open-ended straight draw, but didn't get it and was eliminated.
