Michael Reed Eliminated in 17th Place ($7,932); John Prather Eliminated in 18th Place ($6,326)
Level 20
: 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Robert Wells opened the cutoff and Daniel Vampan three-bet from the small blind. Michael Reed was all-in for his last 35,000 and Wells called.
The flop came A♥J♦6♠ and Vampan continued with a bet. Wells instantly folded, and both hands were revealed.
Michael Reed: K♦7♥ 
Daniel Vampan: A♠9♠
"At least make it a sweat," Pleaded Reed. But unfortunately the 2♣ turn meant he was drawing dead, and the Q♥ river was just a formality. Reed headed to the payout desk in 17th place.
John Prather was eliminated just moments before at another table, taking home 18th place.
