Tim Baker

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

When it folded to Mircea Rus in the small blind he shoved for around 800,000 and was called by Rory Liffey in the big blind.

Mircea Rus: K♦2♥ All in
Rory Liffey: K♥9♠

Rus was dominated by Liffey and needed to find a deuce to win. The board ran out 10♥A♣10♠4♦8♠, which meant Liffey's king-nine high would win the pot and Rus was out in eleventh place.

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Sebastian Trela raised to 210,000 from the cutoff and Kevin Killeen shoved from the big blind. Trela had around 1,400,000 remaining in his stack and put in the call for his tournament life.

Sebastian Trela; A♣K♠ All in
Kevin Killeen: A♠Q♦

Trela had Killeen dominated and would move up the chip counts if he could hold with Big Slick. The board of J♣6♥A♦4♥6♠ was clean for Trela's ace-king, and he stayed in the tournament.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

John Vogelaar raised to 175,000 from the hijack and Mircea Rus shoved for 920,000 from the big blind. Vogelaar snap-called.

Mircea Rus: A♥10♥ All in
John Vogelaar: J♠J♥

Vogelaar needed to fade an ace or some hearts to send everyone closer to the final table.

The 7♥7♠A♠ flop was disatourous for Vogelaar as Rus paired his ace to take a commanding lead. There was no help for Vogelaar on the 9♦ turn or K♣ river and the majority of his chips were sent over to Rus.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mircea Rus	1,960,000 655,000	655,000
John Vogelaar	145,000 -1,155,000	-1,155,000
