Van der Vyver Eliminated; Lingenfelder Escapes From Same Fate
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Raymond van der Vyver was all-in before the flop and called multiple ways. Nick Sissou bet the A♠5♥4♦ flop and isolated successfully.
Raymond van der Vyver: A♦Q♥ 
Nick Sissou: 4♠4♣
Van der Vyver needed running cards but it was all over on the 7♠ turn to make the 6♥ river a formality.
The fireworks continued on the same table when Benjamin Lingenfelder was all-in for 454,000 on the 7♠5♥2♣6♦ turn only to get snapped off by Roy Bitton.
Benjamin Lingenfelder: 8♦6♥
Roy Bitton: 9♣8♣
"Only the nine," another player at the table remarked and that's what came with the 9♠ river to ensure an unlikely split pot.
