Steve “MrSmokey1″ Billirakis (left) moved all in for his last 314k from late position and Kenny Tran made the call. Tran had pocket tens which left Billirakis looking for an ace on the board to pair his overcard. Steve’s A9 did not improve though and he was eliminated in 23rd place for $79,145.

With only 22 players left Gus Hansen continues to pull away from the pack and is nearing the 4 million chip mark. Cory “UGOTPZD” Carroll is his closest competition with 2.7 million and Tom durrrr” Dwan is still right around 2 million along with Amir Vahedi, David Tran and David Chiu.
