One final round of shots with Neil Stoddart.
From middle position, Ari Engel opened to 5,300, and Jonathan Duhamel three-bet to 12,700. Engel was undeterred, though, and he made another raise to 22,800 total. Duhamel's response was an insta-shove, and the insta-call came -- well, instantly. Engel had the 137,000 covered by a bit, so it was the former World Champ at risk as the cards were rolled over.
Showdown
Engel:
Duhamel:
Well, it was a misstep, but Duhamel was still drawing live for a big double. Engel managed to fade the six outs, though, and the board sent him the pot. With it comes the elimination of Duhamel, out in the last half hour of Day 2.

On the last hand of the last level, Anton Wigg lost about half his stack to a coin flip, but things have rebounded nicely here for the Swede.
He'd already doubled once to about 125,000 this level, and he just found another chance to get his chips in. It happened in a preflop tangle with Roman Romanovski, and Wigg was the one doing the shoving on a five-bet. It was 122,500 total, and Romanovski made the call with the covering stack.
Showdown
Wigg:
Romanovski:
Wigg was in the worst shape, but things would improve in a hurry. The dealer blessed him with a flop, and Romanovski was less than thrilled to see the two pair. He could not catch back up on the turn or river, and he's been forced to part with a significant chunk of his stack.
From about 60,000 to start the level, Wigg has worked his count up to about 225,000 now. He and Romanovski have traded facial expressions and stack sizes.

We love when they draw one of the low cards, and the three that was pulled means we'll play that many more hands at each table before bagging up for the night.
