Benitez Busts Bader, Bowers Busts Brandt
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
After having just eliminated Brett Bader in a previous hand, Francisco Benitez raised to 42,000 in the cutoff. Lawrence Brandt then jammed all in for 88,000 on the button, after which Jonathan Bowers four-bet in the small blind.
Benitez let his hand go, leaving the other two players to fight for the pot.
Lawrence Brandt: A♠10♦4♠4♦ 
Jonathan Bowers : A♥A♣5♠2♥
Bowers made two pair on the K♦5♣2♦ flop, which remained the best hand on the 10♠9♠ runout to send Brandt out.
