William Valladares immediately put his chip leading stack into use, taking the lead in a hand with a board of 5♠ 8♥ 9♠ 2♣ J♣.  Emanuel Quinonez called pre-flop (along with Paul Balzano), on the flop, and once again on the turn.  William would bet enough on the river to put Quinonez all-in, with Emanuel releasing his hand fairly quickly.  Almost half of his stack would be lost in the pot, making Emanuel the short stack at the final table.  Listed below are updated chip counts from the end of Level 22:
