Tony Bunch Eliminated in 10th Place ($18,290)
Tony Bunch opened to 320,000 preflop and was called by Spencer Champlin to see a flop of Q♥5♣A♥.
Bunch continued for 300,000, Champlin called and the two continued to the turn 6♠. This time Bunch checked to Champlin, who bet 850,000, and after some thought, Bunch made the call.
The river fell the 2♠ and Bunch checked to Champlin once more, who then placed out four-1,000,000 plaques, enough to cover Bunch who then went deep into the tank.
After close to four intense minutes of deep contemplation, Bunch finally slid out his remaining stack, putting his tournament life on the line.
Champlin then showed him the bad news when he rolled over 5♠5♦ for a flopped set of fives while Bunch let out a deep sigh and tabled K♦Q♠ for a pair of queens.
The pot was pushed over to Champlin while Bunch was eliminated in 10th place on the final table bubble.
