Chris Baumhoer opened to 300,000 and then Todd Tucker three-bet him to 1,100,000. After a lengthy pause, Baumhoer pushed all in and Tucker made the call to put him at risk.

Chris Baumhoer: 44
Todd Tucker: KQ

Baumhoer was a slight favorite with his pocket pair, but the flop of K26 immediately gave Tucker the upper hand as he paired his king. The runout of A9 did not provide the four Baumhoer needed and he was sent out in fifth place.

Todd Tucker opened to 250,000 and James Traber moved all in for around 1,900,000. When the action got back to him, Tucker announced a call to put him at risk and flipped over his cards.

James Traber: A10
Todd Tucker: 99

The window card was a ten to give Traber a pair, but a nine rolled off right behind it on the flop of 1069. The board completed with JQ to give Tucker the win and Traber was eliminated in sixth place.

Set Over Set for Ellis

Level 25 : Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante

Duster Ellis moved all in preflop for 1,200,000 and was called by Todd Tucker to put him at risk.

Duster Ellis: AA
Todd Tucker: 99

Ellis's heart sank as a nine appeared in the window, but an ace followed right behind it on the 9AK flop to give both players a set. Only a nine could win it for Tucker, but the runout of 76 failed to do so and the pot was awarded to Ellis for the double.

Tucker Doubles Through Traber

Level 25 : Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante

On a heads-up turn of 9A10Q, the pot had around 1,100,000 in it when James Traber moved all in after a check from Todd Tucker.

Tucker then went into the tank for a good while before he made the call to put himself at risk and the cards were tabled.

Todd Tucker: 910
James Traber: A2

"Come on, spade!" Traber shouted, but the river was the brick J for Tucker to take down the big pot with his flopped two pair.
