John Koo Eliminated in 7th Place; William Butcher Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,505)

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

John Koo and William Butcher were just eliminated in the same hand, with both of their bounties going to Alex Huot in a big three-way clash.

On the button, Butcher moved all in for 285,000. Huot received a count from the small blind, then called. Kok reraised all in for a little more than Butcher's shove at 340,000. Huot called the extra bit and showed the {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Butcher had the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and Koo had the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Huot vaulted into the lead on the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop. The turn was the {2-Spades}, and the river was the {K-Hearts}. Both Koo and Butcher were eliminated, but it was Koo earning the higher finishing position due to his larger chip stack going in. Even so, both players walked away with the same $1,505 payday thanks to the deal that was made.

"I've got a seven," said Saragas, turning over the {Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

Huot mucked, and Saragas won the pot.

Alex Huot Eliminated in 4th Place ($1,505)

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Alex Huot - 4th Place
Alex Huot - 4th Place

From the button, Ty Saragas raised to 85,000. Alex Huot reraised all in from the small blind for about 600,000, and Saragas called with the {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

"How about some diamonds?" said Huot, tabling the {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

The flop did have two diamonds on it when the {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} fell, but the {2-Clubs} turn and {5-Spades} river couldn't keep him alive.

With that, Huot was eliminated in fourth place for $1,505. He also took home 15 bounties for $375 and the $565 Main Event seat for becoming the last Run It Up warrior standing sporting Run it Up gear.
