Joe Stiers raised to 85,000 in early position, Bennett Ellenbogen raised all in for 557,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Stiers.

The two began conversing quietly with one another, but the tournament director was quick to stop them. At Borgata, even if players are heads up, they are not allowed to discuss the contents of their hands.

Stiers opted to make the call after a few more minutes, showing {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. He was ahead of Ellenbogen's {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

The flop came {2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, giving Stiers a pair of queens, but the {5-Diamonds} on the turn kept Ellenbogen alive with a flush draw. The {9-Hearts} on the river was red, but the suit was not the right one to save Ellenbogen.

He was eliminated in seventh place, while Stiers chipped up to around 1.5 million.
