Level 23
: Blinds 3,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ian Simpson raised to 120,000 on the button with 5♠5♥ before Dean Hutchison moved all in from the small blind holding A♦K♦. Simpson folded for his last 1,020,000.
Hutchison then picked up 9♦9♣ on the button and raised to 120,000, taking down the blinds and ante. He then raised to 120,000 under the gun the next hand. Paul McAulay moved all in for 1,180,000 on the button, and Hutchison snap-called.
Paul McAulay: A♣Q♣ 
Dean Hutchison: A♠A♦
Hutchison had woken up with aces, while McAulay got some hope on the Q♥7♦4♥ flop with a pair. The 7♠ turn was no help, while the river came the 6♦ and McAulay, the overwhelming chip leader at the start of the day, was eliminated in fourth place.
