Showdown
Kessler: 
Patel: 
The flop saved Kessler's tournament life, and the turn 
and river 
filled him up and doubled him up. He's back to 58,600 now, while Patel falls back to 55,000 or so himself.
Brian Senie is the first player to cross the 200,000 mark, eliminating Brian Lemke.
Under the gun, Lemke raised to 3,300. Next to act was Senie and he three-bet to 9,000. Action folded around and Lemke put in a four-bet, but soon his entire stack of about 40,000 was in the middle with . Senie had him dominated with and held up as the board ran out 
.
In middle position, Dan Heimiller opened to 3,300, and Allie Prescott three-bet shoved for 28,000 from the big blind. Heimiller gave it some thought before plunking a stack of calling chips into the middle, turning up

Brown bet 1,200, but neither opponent went anywhere. The hit the turn and all three checked, leading to the 
river. Brown checked and Pham bet 3,500. Heimiller popped it to 9,500, getting Brown to fold. Pham thought it over for about 30 seconds before calling, mucking his hand when Heimiller tabled for a straight.
