David Salituro

Level 31 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

William Shaw raised to 1,275,000 under the gun and Bin Weng three-bet to 2,775,000 in the hijack. Shaw then moved all in for 9,500,000, and Weng folded.

The next hand, Weng raised to 5,000,000 in middle position as action folded around to Shaw, who shoved from the big blind. Weng only had a few chips behind and called all in.

Bin Weng: A♠5♣ All in
William Shaw: Q♥Q♣

Weng had run into Shaw's queens and needed an ace to survive, but he couldn't connect with the J♣6♣4♠6♦7♦ board and was eliminated in 17th place.

Level 30 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Thomas Yarbrough opened to 1,000,000 from early position before Matthew Bennett jammed for 4,500,000 from the button, and Yarbrough quickly called.

Matthew Bennett: 10♥10♦ All in
Thomas Yarbrough: A♠Q♠

It was another flip as the A♦Q♥7♠ flop gave Yarbrough top two pair. The J♦ turn left Bennett needing a two-outer, which did not come on the 7♥ river as he was eliminated.

Level 30 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action picked up with the cards on their backs as William Shaw was all in for his remaining 5,925,000, at risk against Michael Mann in the cutoff, with an additional 800,000 in the middle from a third player who bowed out.

William Shaw: A♥K♣ All in
Michael Mann: J♥J♦

It was a classic race until the K♠7♣5♥ flop vaulted Shaw into the lead after pairing his king. Mann could not find a two-outer on the 4♥Q♣ runout, and he was eliminated.
