Townsend, Hale Out; 20 Remain
Two more eliminations to report, both coming in rapid fashion over on Table 347.
The first to go was Dale Townsend after having gotten involved in a three-way hand versus Brant Hale and Farhad Momeni. Momeni had taken the lead early in the drawing in that one, standing pat while the other two kept taking cards. Hale finally dropped out on the third draw, after Townsend was all in, and Townsend was needing one more card while Momeni continued to stand pat.
Momeni had a number four — 
— while Townsend had 
and slim hopes of drawing a suitable fifth card. Alas for Townsend, he picked up another on the end and was knocked out in 22nd place.
After losing chips in that hand, Brant Hale soon followed Townsend to the rail in 21st place after losing the last of his stack to Calvin Anderson.
