Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

On a flop of 2♦6♣Q♦, Evan Benton under the gun bet 335,000 and he was called by Guofeng Wang in the big blind.

Both of them checked the Q♥ turn to find the 2♥ river, where Wang led out for 650,000.

Benton eventually made the call, but his cards went into the muck when Wang turned over 7♠6♥ for two pair.

Mukul Pahuja opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and Ruiko Mamiya called from the big blind.

Both checked the 9♦10♠5♥ flop to see an 8♦ fall on the turn. Mamiya checked, Pahuja bet 680,000, Mamiya shoved for around 2,700,000, and Pahuja called.

Ruiko Mamiya: A♦7♦ All in
Mukul Pahuja: 8♠8♣

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Christopher Collier opened to 805,000 from under the gun, and he was called by Evan Benton on the button. Nicolas Vayssieres in the small blind went into the tank, but he eventually folded, and so did Nick Maimone in the big blind.

Christopher Collier: K♣K♥ All in
Evan Benton: 8♠8♥

Benton flopped a full house on Q♥Q♠8♦ to crack Collier's kings. The A♣ turn and the 10♦ river didn't bring the king Collier needed and he was eliminated in 13th place for $24,094.
