Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Mike Vanier moved all in preflop and was called by Stephen Moy (who now covered him) to ut him at risk.
Mike Vanier: A♣Q♦
Stephen Moy : 5♥5♠
Vanier would need some help to catch up, but the flop of 5♣8♥J♠ left him drawing only to a backdoor Broadway as Moy flopped a set of fives for a big lead.
Unfortunately for him, those dreams were dashed when the turn came the 8♦ to improve Moy to a full house, which left Vanier dead in the water. The river A♦ only added insult to injury and Moy was pushed the pot while Vanier exited in 7th place.

On a heads-up flop of 4♠10♣5♥, Stephen Moy checked to Mike Vanier, who bet 175,000 into the pot of 450,000.
Moy then check-raised all in for 1,565,000 and Vanier made the call to put him at risk after some tanking.
Stephen Moy: 10♥3♥ 
Mike Vanier: 8♣8♥
Moy was ahead with his superior pair of tens, and the runout of 4♥Q♠ kept it that way to score a double for Moy.
"What did you think, I was just putting it in with nothin!?" Moy said to Vanier as he raked in the pot .

After some preflop back-and-forth, Tyler Klumb and Mike Vanier got all the chips into the middle, with Klumb at risk.
Tyler Klumb: A♥Q♠
Mike Vanier: A♣J♠
Klumb was in good shape with his superior kicker, and the runout of 7♦10♥A♦4♦7♥ proved it to be so and he was awarded the pot for a big double.

After doubling up Stephen Moy the previous hand with 9♣9♦ vs A♥10♥ on a 5♦6♦8♣J♠A♦ runout, Scott Buller got the rest of his stack into the middle against David Fager.
Scott Buller: K♦6♥
David Fager: A♣K♣
Buller would need some help to stay alive, but the ace came right in the window of the A♥9♦10♠ flop to leave him dead to running sixes. The runout came 8♠9♥, failing to save him and he was eliminated in eighth place.

After a preflop betting war, Adam Bacome moved all in and was called by Mike Vanier to put him at risk.
Adam Bacome : A♦K♣
Mike Vanier : 10♦10♠
Bacome would need to improve to stay alive in this flip, but the runout of 2♥Q♥8♦8♠6♦ did him no favors and he was eliminated in 9th place as the first casualty at the final table.
