Matthew Wantman Eliminated in 13th Place ($126,801)
Level 23
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Tyler Smith raised to 400,000 from middle position. The action then folded to Matthew Wantman in the small blind who three-bet to 1,360,000, around half of his remaining stack.
"All in", said Smith, who still played heaps of chips. Wantman instantly put in the extra chips and made the call.
Matthew Wantman: A♣K♦J♣7♥
Tyler Smith: A♦A♠K♠2♠
Smith's aces flopped two pair on 5♦Q♦5♠, solidifying his lead. Wantman was dead when the 4♥ turn arrived, and he took his payout voucher as the 2♣ river hit the felt.
