Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
From the small blind James Anderson popped it up to 50,000 only to have Josh Evans three-bet all in for roughly 400,000. Anderson immediately made the call to put the Texan at risk.
Anderson: 
Evans: 
With Evans in desperate need to spike, the 
flop gave him no additional outs, and as the 
landed on the turn, Evans would be left with just three aces in the deck.
Unfortunately it would be the 
on the river that would ensure his exit in 3rd place for a $135,000 payday as the remaining two players went on a short break as the television crew set-up for heads-up play.

Barnhart Strikes River
James Anderson opened his button to 50,000 only to have Sam Barnhart shove all in for 860,000. Anderson immediately made the call.
Barnhart: 
Anderson: 
With Barnhart trailing in chips and in hand strength, the sweat-tastic 
flop gave Barnhart a great chance of staying alive in the tournament.
"Not a bad flop!" stated Barnhart before the rolled off on the turn and Barnhart continued by saying, "throw an ace out there!"
And the dealer would deliver by dropping the cruel on the river to give Barnhart aces-up and send him soaring to over 1,700,000 as Anderson plummets down to just over ten big blinds.
