Weinman Planks, Hits an Ace, and Doubles
Level 32
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
The action folded to Daniel Weinman, who moved all in for 865,000 out of the small blind. Kasra Khodayarkhani immediately called in the big blind, turning over 
. Weinman showed 
.
"I'm going to plank!" Weinman said, running down the steps of the stage.
Earlier, Joseph Hebert suggested that Weinman should plank the next time he was all in, and true enough, the Atlantean laid face first on a table off of the stage.
Meanwhile, at the final table, the dealer rapped the table, burned a card, then dealt three community cards face down. Right in the window of the flop was the 
, followed by the 
and the 
. When the tournament director announced that there was an ace on the flop, Weinman didn't look up, rather he just gave a thumbs up from the plank position.
Khodayarkhani needed the only remaining king in the deck to record the knockout, but the turn and river bricked 
, 
respectfully. Weinman gleefully returned to the stage, where he pulled in the 1.7 million-chip pot. Khodayarkhani was knocked down to around 1.64 million.

Dan Schmiech Eliminated in 6th Place ($44,748)
Level 32
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Talk about Déjà vu! Just minutes after kings lost to Big Slick it has happened again.
It happened when Luke Graham moved all in under the gun for roughly 1.5 million and Dan Schmiech called off for 1.255 million in the small blind.
Schmiech:
Graham:
It was the exact same situation we'd just saw, and the outcome would be the same as the 
flop delivered an ace. Schmiech, who is a World Series of Poker bracelet winner from 2005, immediately stood and prepared to make his exit, which he did after the 
turn and 
river failed to deliver the case king.

"You Look Like You're in a Calling Stance"
Level 32
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Rogen Chhabra opened to 180,000 from under the gun, and Daniel Weinman moved all in for two million even in the small blind. Kasra Khodayarkhani surrendered his big blind, and Chhabra promptly stood up.
"You look like you're in a calling stance," Weinman told him.
"Yeah," Chhabra answered. "I call."
Weinman turned over 
then sunk down into his seat. Chhabra tabled 
, and we were off to the races.
The flop fell 
, giving Weinman a leading pair of queens, and he gave a two-handed fist pump will still slouched in his seat.
"Good hand," Chhabra told him, cutting out stacks of blue T25,000 chips.
Chhabra could still send Weinman packing with a ten on the turn or river, but the 
and the 
were both bricks. Weinman doubled to around 4.2 million chips, while Chhabra plummeted down to 1.685 million.

Khodayarkhani Spikes Two-Outer on the River to Stay Alive
Level 32
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Kasra Khodayarkhani appeared to have the biggest rail here at the final table as circuit regulars such as Jeff Fielder, Cord Garcia, Ben Reason and Alex Masek are sweating their friend. Well, they just got something to cheer about.
It began with Luke Graham opening for 175,000 from the cutoff. When action reached Khodayarkhani in the small blind, he promptly moved all in for 1.48 million. The big blind folded and Graham snap-called.
Graham: 
Khodayarkhani: 
Khodayarkhani was dominated and in need of some help, and he found a little on the 
flop as an eight would make him a straight. Much to his dismay, and that of his supporters, the turned to take away those out as an eight would now give Graham a bigger straight. That meant Khodayarkhani needed one of the two remaining fives in the deck to stay alive.
"He runs so bad late in tournaments," Fielder had said of his friend not 15 minutes before. That may have been the case in the past, but not in this particular hand as the dealer burned and put out the on the river!
Khodayarkhani hit his two outer and his rail went wild. A big smile crept upon his face and he sat in his chair seemingly in disbelief at his good fortune.
