Another level is in the books, as the field transitions into Level 16, with blinds going up to 2,500/5,000/500 (269,000 chip average). Daniel Letts was mentioned as one of the shorter stacks in our last post, and just as we approached Table 1, Letts would be all-in.

With action on the turn of a board reading 5♠ 10♦ 5♥ 2♣, Letts would shove for 81,500 first to act.  After just a few moments, Ronald Tourony (Ft. Myers, FL) verbalized a call, and Tim Miles folded behind:

Board: 5♠ 10♦ 5♥ 2♣

Letts: Q♠ 10♠

Tourony: 5♣ 7♣

River: 9♥

Letts had two possible outs to stay in the tournament, but would not find one of them on the river.  Daniel falls just (8) spots short of the money, while Tourony chips up to 350,000.
