Randy Levin

Action folded to Randy Levin in middle position and he moved all in for 235,000. Rodney Turvin called from the cutoff and the button and blinds folded.

Turvin: AhAd

T.K. Miles

Ryan D’Angelo opened the action from the hijack, T.K. Miles moved all in from the big blind for 320,000 and D’Angelo quickly called with a stack that wasn’t a ton bigger.

Miles: AdKc
D’Angelo: KhKd

Our all-time money leader was in bad shape with big slick against the kings and Miles could not pull off a miracle on the QhTd8s8h9c to exit in 32nd place.

Ryan D’Angelo – 775,000 (39 bb)
T.K. Miles – Eliminated in 32nd Place ($5,420)

Rossi: Ah9d
Brite: AsTh

Brite was in great shape but four hearts on the board gave Rossi the bigger flush to send Brite out in 33rd place.
