Updated counts for the remaining six players.

Steve Anderson Eliminated in 7th Place ($18,250)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Steve Anderson
Steve Anderson

Phung Ngo raised to 115,000 from early position and Adam Friedman called from the hijack. Steve Anderson reraised all in from the big blind for 669,000 total and Ngo folded. Friedman quickly called.

Friedman: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Anderson: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The flop was {2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and the {10-Hearts} turn gave Friedman a set and changed Anderson's outs. The {5-Hearts} on the river though sealed Anderson's fate as he headed to the rail in 7th place.

Blinds Battle

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded around to Mark Johnson in the small blind and he called. Adam Friedman checked his option and the flop was {3-Clubs}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Both players checked and the turn was the {8-Hearts}. Johnson bet 55,000 and Friedman called. The river was the {4-Spades} and Johnson bet 82,000.

Friedman raised to 206,000 and Johnson thought for a moment before eventually tossing a chip out for the call. Friedman showed {3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for two pair and Johnson mucked.

Huge Call = Big Pot for Pupillo

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

We picked up the action after a {k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop and Nick Pupillo and Chad Bienz heads up. Both players checked and the turn was the {4-Hearts}. Again both players checked.

The {k-Clubs} river brought another check from Pupillo, but Bienz wasn't having it and moved all in, having Pupillo covered. Pupillo thought for a while, before eventually announcing "call." We could see the disappointment on Bienz's face as he rolled over {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Pupillo tabled {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and two pair was good.

Anderson: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Stone: {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Stone was the first casualty at the final table.
