Hand-For-Hand Play Begins

In Level 17 with blinds of 3,500/7,000 and an ante of 875, action went three ways to a flop of with 47,000 in the middle and Michael “UFOLDIWIN” St. John led out for 35,000 in the small blind. Kevin “sofcknsick” Campbell called in the big blind to put action onto "ELITEMALESSO" in the cutoff, who shoved for 71,000. St. John reraised to 175,000 and Campbell came over the top, shoving for 278,000. St. John called all in for less, resulting in all three players' hands being shown.

"ELITEMALESSO":
Michael “UFOLDIWIN” St. John:
Kevin “sofcknsick” Campbell:

Campbell was ahead after flopping bottom two pair and further improved as the turn gave him a set. However, any spade or diamond on the river would improve one or both players to a flush, and the river wound up putting St. John on top to earn him both pots and the knockout. Moments earlier, "Edsebo" was eliminated by Chris “rumpthumper” White in 13th place, meaning 11 players now remain. Two more eliminations are needed to reach the money, and hand-for-hand play is now in effect across the two remaining tables until the bubble bursts.
