Andreas Vandevenne pushed over Ravi Raghavan's preflop pot bet to commit nearly all of his chips. Raghavan threw enough into the pot to put him all in and Vandevenne obliged.

Vandevenne: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Raghavan: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The flop of {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} still gave Vandevenne some outs, but when the {8-Clubs} landed on the turn he was drawing dead and exited the tournament floor as the {A-Diamonds} was being dealt on the river.

With Vandevenne collecting $5,901 for his efforts, the final eighteen players are re-drawing for the final two tables.
