Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kyna England's seat at Table 16 was just seen vacated and Brian Berthiaume confirmed that he was the one who did the deed. According to Berthiaumune, the hand went down at the end of last level with a player opening to 6,000 under the gun and England flat-calling in the hijack. Berthiaume jammed over the top for 68,000 and England immediately called it off once the under-the-gun opener folded.

Kyna England:
Brian Berthiaume:

An ace in the window was all Berthiaume needed to pull ahead, fading the one outer as the runout completed to eliminate England from the tournament. He has since chipped up further and now sits with around 160,000.
