Brent Ballentine opened the action with a raise to 38,000 and Michael Ermie reraised to 110,000. Poitinger went all in for about 116,000 and the action folded to Ermie, leaving him heads up with Poitinger. He called the remainder and turned over {10-}{10-}. Poitinger had {6-}{8-}.

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and that was it for Poitinger. The players will now take a small break and set up for the final table.

Connor Burchwell - 12th Place

Burchwell went all in with pocket nines against Michael Ermie, who had {a-}{k-}. When Ermie spiked an ace on the river, it was the rail for Burchwell in 13th place.

Mark Hughes Eliminated in 14th Place ($4,619)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Mark Hughes - 14th
Mark Hughes - 14th

Mark Hughes just doubled up with kings against tens, but his luck ran out against the blistering hot Bruce Peery. To say Peery has had a good few levels, might be the understatement of the year. Peery has amassed almost 1.2 million in chips since the dinner break.

On this hand, Peery raised preflop and Hughes defended in the big blind. The flop was {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Hughes checked to Peery. Peery made it 100,000 and Hughes shoved all in. Peery called and Hughes saw the bad news.

Hughes had top pair with {a-}{q-}, but Peery had pocket kings, {k-}{k-}. The board ran out and so did Hughes tournament life. He finished in 14th place for $4,619.
