Play has slowed to a crawl here in Level 31. Stacks are relatively short, but players seem to be playing things tight at the moment. We've yet to see a flop.

A short-stacked George Clark shoved all in from middle position for 150,000 and Phanora Prom three-bet to 300,000. When action reached Michael Sanders on the button, he four-bet jammed for 840,000 total. Both blinds folded, as did Prom, and the cards were turned up.
Clark:
Sanders:
The flop gave Sanders top set, and Clark needed running cards to stay alive. The turn took away any chance of that happening, and Clark was officially eliminated from the tournament after the was put out on the river.

Action folded to Aaron Thomas in the small blind and he moved all in for 725,000. Sammy Aweida was in the big and snap-called.
Aweida:
Thomas:
Aweida woke up with a big hand, but it didn't matter much as the flop paired Thomas. Neither the turn nor river helped Aweida, and he sent more than half his chips to his direct right.
