James Schaaf - 12th place
James Schaaf - 12th place

With the action folding round to Dean Hamrick on the button he opened the pot with a raise to 85,000 with James Schaaf defending his big blind.

When the flop fell down {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{K-Hearts} Schaaf moved all in for 230,000 and Hamrick made the call.

Schaaf: {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Hamrick: {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The turn fell the {9-Hearts} to leave Schaaf only drawing to a chop, and when the river fell the {A-Diamonds}, he made his way to the rail in 12th place for a $34,748 payday as Hamrick soars over the 1,500,000-chip mark.

Johnson Doubles

Thomas Johnson moved all in from the cutoff and it was folded to Ian Wiley in the big blind. After calculating how much the all in was for, Wiley made the call and tabled {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Johnson was all in for his tournament life with {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

It didn't take long for Johnson to find the card he needed. It came on the flop of {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and the river the {6-Diamonds}. Wiley couldn't find one of the remaining sevens in the deck that would have knocked out his opponent.

Johnson is up to 790,000, while Wiley is sitting at 970,000.

The board ran out a rather undramatic {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} to see Kaiser double through to 980,000 as Schaaf slips to 320,000 in chips.
