Hand #20: Donald Maas opened for 200,000 and wins the blinds and antes.

David Vida Eliminated in Eighth Place ($66,945)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
David Vida
David Vida

Hand #19: Vida moved all in again for the second time within four hands. Donald Maas asked for a count and the dealer verified it to be 1,145,000. Maas announced call and all other players folded. Showdown:

Maas: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Vida: {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The {3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Hearts} flop gave Vida some more outs with the open ender, but the {5-Hearts} turn delivered a flush draw to take out some of those cards in the deck. The {Q-Hearts} river gave Maas the nut flush and Vida has been eliminated in eighth place. He takes home $66,945 for his efforts.
