There is a three-way preflop all-in situation at Table 21, with Vincent Guerra (UTG) covering both Alejandro Espinal (UTG+1) and Winston Johnson (middle position).

Vincent Guerra:  QsJs
Alejandro Espinal:  AcKd
Winston Johnson:  9h9c

The flop came QdJd9d, giving all three players a shot with a set of nines for Johnson, two pair for Guerra, and a gutshot straight-flush draw for Espinal.

But the turn card was the Qc, giving Guerra a huge lead with a full house, queens full of jacks. Johnson could only stay alive with the nine of spades (for quads), and Espinal needed the ten of diamonds (for a straight flush).

The river card was the 4s, and Guerra won the entire pot to eliminate both players from the tournament.

Vincent Guerra  –  500,000  (33 bb)
Alejandro Espinal  –  Eliminated in 187th Place  ($1,180)
Winston Johnson  –  Eliminated in 186th Place  ($1,180)

With 185 players remaining from a field of 4,783, the average chip stack is around 515,000 (34 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $1,180 each.

There will be a 45-minute dinner break after Level 23, around 7:15 pm. After dinner, levels will increase to 60 minutes for the rest of the tournament.
