Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jamie Bryne just got his last 475,000 into the middle preflop from early position with Stephen Henderson making the call from the hijack to put him at risk.

Jamie Byrne: K♦J♥ All in
Stephen Henderson: A♦K♥

Bryne had ran into the Big Slick of Henderson and needed a lot of help from the dealer to stay in contention in the Main Event. The board ran out Q♦3♠A♠9♦6♦ to give Henderson the winner with top pair, and Byrne was out.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Eddie Hughes open-shoved for around 600,000 from early position with Niall Campbell making the call from the small blind to put him at risk of elimination.

Eddie Hughes: A♦Q♣ All in
Niall Campbell: K♦K♥

Campbell was ahead with his Cowboys and needed to fade an ace. The dealer put out a board of 4♣4♥J♠3♥Q♦ that may have given Hughes a pair of queens, but this was still second best to the kings of Campbell. Hughes was eliminated and Campbell pulled in the pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Vitalijs Polukejevs raised to 100,000 from the cutoff with around 1,000,000 behind. Michael Murray shoved from the big blind for roughly 1,200,000. After the blinds folded, Polukejevs called for his tournament life.

Vitalijs Polukejevs: A♠K♦ All in
Michael Murray: J♠10♦

Murray had tried making a move but ran into the Big Slick of Polukejevs. The 9♥9♦3♣ flop didn't improve either player nor did the 6♦ turn. A clean Q♣ hit the river and Polukejevs had doubled up through Murray, who was left on fumes.
