Players left: 70 of 352 Average Stack: 100,000 Chip Leaders: Justin Newton - 230,000 Eliminations: Alex Kravchenko Eugene Katchalov Erik Seidel John Juanda Phil Ivey Ray Coburn Joe Sebok Big Hands: Showdown At Table 9 A battle of huge chipstacks became a threesome in the final minute of Level 9, when veteran Eli Elezra was moved when Table 13 was killed. Elezra joined big stacks Mike Sowers and Raphael Zimmerman just as the blinds increased to 1000-2000.  Elezra brought with him 150,000 in chips, and in a matter of minutes had eliminated Ray Coburn. After an initial Elezra raise, Coburn came over the top to 12,500, only to have Elezra make it 40,000 to play. Coburn eventually committed all of his 57,000 into the pot and flipped over pocket queens, while Elezra showed kings. The flop of 10  A K gave Elezra a set and left Coburn drawing to a gut-shot straight, but he failed to hit when the 6 and 2 rounded out play.Sowers and Zimmerman had been butting heads earlier. On play had Sowers raise pre-flop, into a second raise of Zimmerman to 45,000. Sowers made it 89,600 and Zimmerman sent up the white flag. Sowers stands at 230,000 in chips, while Zimmerman would recover to amass 185,000. Juanda's Time Runs Out John Juanda elected to make a stand with his shortstack and moved all-in with 48,000 chips. David "Raptor" Benefield made the call with A-K, and a bullet on the flop sent Juanda packing just as Level 9 expired. Tuan Le Wins Massive Pot Tuan Le became one of the tournament chip leaders thanks to a well-timed value bet. After being checked to on the river, Le bet approximately 70% of his remaining stack. His opponent deliberated for several minutes before announcing a call. Tuan Le's set of sevens was good, increasing his stack to over 200,000. Eric Seidel Eliminated After battling a short stack for the last round, Erik Seidel called a 5,500 raise from the player on the button. Almost as soon as the A 54 flop fell, Seidel bet his remaining 6,400 and was called by his opponent. Seidel turned over 43 while his opponent showed 97. The 9 on the turn took the lead away from Seidel, and the 5 on the river meant that Erik Seidel's run had ended.David Bach Still Slingin' David Bach won a massive pot when his pocket queens eliminated his opponent's pocket 8s. He now has over 190,000 and is among the tournament chip leaders. Eugene Katchalov Eliminated by Eli Elezra Eugene got it in with the nut flush draw against Elezra's trip deuces. Eugene hit his flush on the river, but it was too late as Elezra hit quad deuces on the turn. Laak and Keller Go At It On a board of J  T732, Phil Laak made a bet of 23,300 into his opponent, Thomas Keller. Keller pondered for several minutes before calling. Laak turned over J7 and Keller mucked. Laak now has over 175,000, but Keller is still over 100,000.Curtains for Kravchenko Alex Kravchenko's A-T could not improve against his opponent's J-J and his night ended prematurely.  Harman UpPhil Laak made it 4,500 from late position but was met with a re-raise by Jen Harman in the small blind. In typical "Unabomber" fashion, Laak laughed maniacally before folding his cards. Harman Down Phil Laak limped two off the button, eliciting a shout of, "Is that even allowed?" from his tablemate Shawn Keller. Harman completed from the small blind and Joe Patrick checked his option. The flop of 8 44 checked around, leading to the 5 turn. Harman led out for 4,000, Patrick quickly raised to 13,500, leaving himself only 12,000 behind. Harman thought for two minutes before sticking in a final raise. Patrick snap called. Harman's 74 was in front of Patrick's monster draw of 63. The river brought the 2, shipping the pot to Patrick and leaving Harman with only 23,000 near the end of the day.Player Tags: Erik Seidel, John Juanda, Tuan Le, Thomas Keller, Eli Elezra, David Bach, Jennifer Harman, Alexander Kravchenko, Eugene Katchalov, Raphael Zimmerman, Markus Lehmann, Raymond Coburn, David Benefield, Mike Sowers Pot-Limit Hold'em - Only Two More Levels To GoMay 30, '08 Note: The players are now on a 15-minute break Average Stack: 62,000 Eliminations: Alan “The Usher” Sass Big Hands:
