Dean Blatt Eliminated in 2nd Place ($921,030)*
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
With one walk for Malcolm Trayner after he re-took the lead, the next hand saw Dean Blatt raise to 1,200,000 from the small blind with A♣10♣. Trayner moved all in after looking down at 7♠7♣ and Blatt snap called for his remaining 15,200,000, and tournament life.
Dean Blatt: A♣10♣
Malcolm Trayner: 7♣7♦
The 4♣8♦K♠ flop saw Trayner keep the lead, but the J♣ turn brought in a massive sweat for Blatt. He picked up a straight and flush draw, turning 18 outs.
A 4♦ river ended the hope for Blatt, and he was eliminated in 2nd place.
