Charles Cohen and Gary Mcdonald got all of their chips in the middle before the flop, and Mcdonald was at risk with his shorter stack.

Showdown:

Cohen: {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Mcdonald: {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

When Cohen saw Mcdonald's holding he began to laugh and said "Well, I hope we don't get hearts" while turning over his cards.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and Cohen took the lead with a pair of sevens. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing and Mcdonald was down to his last card. He needed to spike a king on the river to survive.

River: {J-Diamonds}

With that, Mcdonald was eliminated in 18th place and he will take home $21,037

Walter Browne Busts Michael Millard

Michael Millard open-shoved from under-the-gun, putting his last 185,000 into the middle. Walter Browne found {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} in the hole and his pair was good enough for the call. Millard showed down his {A-Spades}{7-Spades} and was in bad shape with just aces and spades available as outs.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Browne's sevens were still in front. The turn card brought the {J-Diamonds} and the river fell {J-Hearts}, leaving Millard with just ace-high. He hits the rail in 19th place and will pocket $16,715 for his run through this massive field.

Browne Bankrupts Bradshaw

Andrew Bradshaw raised to 53,000 from the cutoff and Walter Browne three-bet to 203,000. This move prompted Bradshaw to dramatically push his last 711,000 chips into the middle of the table.

While Browne went into the tank to deliberate over this tough decision, the fiery Englishman stood up and began chattering to both Browne and the railbirds. "Come on man... this is what we've come for, isn't it?" Bradshaw asked while pacing around the table. He looked at Browne and told him "This is poker mate!" and apparently Browne agreed with that sentiment because he decided to make the call.

Showdown:

Bradshaw: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Browne: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The Englishman had picked up a premium holding with his suited big slick, but Browne woke up with pocket kings and had the best hand. When Bradshaw saw Browne's kings he exclaimed "Ohhh no! I didn't want you to call with that!"

When the flop came {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}, Bradshaw lost one of his three outs, as the {A-Spades} was no longer a good card. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn was a brick, and the {Q-Hearts} sealed the win for Browne.

Andrew Bradshaw was one of the more entertaining players in the field and he hit the rail with his usual British flair.
