David "The Maven" Gutfreund Eliminated in 3rd Place ($69,462)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
David Gutfreund
David Gutfreund

Greg Raymer raised to 160,000 from the small blind, then snap-called when David Gutfreund three-bet shoved for 1.1 million in the big blind.

David Gutfreund: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Greg Raymer: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

"Don't leave me with this guy, man!" Evan Bethyo told Gutfreund with a grin.

"Duckieeee! Quack quack!" Gutfreund called after the {5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop left him seeking a deuce to survive. He would be left wanting after the {8-Hearts} turn and {3-Hearts} river, and he exits in third.

Marc Yofon Eliminated in 4th Place ($48,295)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Marc Yofon
Marc Yofon

Marc Yofon raised to 160,000 from the button, and Evan Bethyo three-bet shoved in the big blind. Yofon snapped off his last 2.1 million in chips.

Marc Yofon: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Evan Bethyo: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

It was Bethyo's turn to run into the rockets, but a bailout was in store for him as the {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop gave Bethyo a set and the lead. The {10-Hearts} turn and {q-Clubs} river failed to bring an ace for Yofon, eliminating him.

"Man, that's not how I wanted to knock you out!" Bethyo told Yofon after the hand. The two shook hands, and Bethyo now sits with over two-thirds of the chips in play.

Tim Barany Eliminated in 5th Place ($36,147)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tim Barany
Tim Barany

Greg Raymer raised to 160,000 from under the gun with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}, and Tim Barany three-bet shoved for 1.1 million in the small blind. Evan Bethyo called in the big blind, and Raymer tanked for a minute before folding.

Tim Barany: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Evan Bethyo: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Barany ran into the rockets of Bethyo, but Raymer would've spiked a set on the {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop. Barany needed running cards to survive, and while the {q-Spades} gave him a gutshot, the {j-Clubs} river was too little, too late for Barany.

Bethyo Over Six Million

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Evan Bethyo limped in with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} from the small blind, and Greg Raymer checked his option in the big blind with {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

Bethyo checked the {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop, and Raymer stabbed with a bet 80,000. Bethyo called.

The {9-Clubs} fell on the turn, and Bethyo checked again. Raymer bet 150,000, and Bethyo called again.

The {j-Hearts} river was checked a third time, and Raymer bet 300,000 with his seven-high. Bethyo thought for a moment, then made the call, and his ace-high was good for the pot.

Bethyo Fills Up Against Raymer

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Evan Bethyo limped in from the small blind with {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and Greg Raymer checked his option with {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

Both players paired up on the {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, and Bethyo check-called a bet of 80,000 from Raymer.

The {2-Diamonds} turn gave Bethyo two pair, and he checked. Raymer bet 150,000, and Bethyo called.

Bethyo made a full house on the {2-Clubs} river, and checked again. Raymer bet 300,000, and Bethyo just called with his full house, taking down the pot and gaining a big lead on the rest of the field.
