Chad Smith Eliminated in 12th Place; Clifford Matthews Eliminated in 11th Place ($11,055)
Level 24
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Matthew Higgins opened to 60,000 in the cutoff and Blake Barousse three-bet to 210,000 on the button. Chad Smith pushed all in for 345,000 in the big blind and both players called.
The flop came 
and both Higgins and Barousse checked to the 
on the turn. Higgins led out for 300,000 into a dry side pot and Barousse instantly folded.
Higgins turned over 
for a set of sixes and Smith was drawing dead with 
.
At the same time on the other table, Clifford Matthews was all in for less than 100,000 chips after losing a couple of pots in a row. He was seen leaving his seat as his chips were pushed toward Scott Stewart. That means, the final 10 players will now gather at the final table.
