Daniel "djaniel" Mar Eliminated in 11th Place ($7,851); Steven "$teveyMoney" Merrifield Eliminated in 10th Place ($9,107)

From the button, Sol Bergren raised to 35,000. Steven "$teveyMoney" Merrifield reraised from the small blind, making it 108,000 to go. Daniel "djaniel" Mar was in the big blind and moved all in for 127,000 total. Action fell back on Bergren and he sat in the tank. Before proceeding any further, Bergren wanted to know that if he called, could Merrifield reraise. Bergren was informed that Merrifield could not reraise.

After another minute in the tank, Bergren made the call as did Merrifield and the three players saw the flop come {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {4-Hearts}. Merrifield and Bergren were the two active players remaining, with the all-in and at-risk Mar watching while standing next to the table.

Merrifield checked and then Bergren checked behind.

The turn brought the {10-Spades} and Merrifield moved all in. Bergren went back into the tank for the second time during the same hand. He removed his hat and stood from his chair. After he sat back down, he asked for a count on the all-in bet from Merrifield. It was 268,000 if Bergren wanted to make the call. Another few minutes passed by and then Bergren called.

Mar tabled {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} and was ahead at the time, yelling, "Hold up one time baby!"

Merrifield held a straight draw and a flush draw with the {A-Spades} {6-Spades}.

"I don't have a pair." announced Bergren, revealing the {K-Spades} {J-Spades}.

The dealer pulled in the chips to the side pot and then dealt the river...

The {K-Diamonds} smashed on the table like a cement block, completing the board and nailing Bergren with a pair of kings to give him the winning hand. Merrifield slammed his hand on the table, complaining about how terrible a call Bergren just made while pacing back and forth.

Mar was sent home in 11th place and Merrifield in 10th place. Bergren moved up to 1.106 million chips.
