Benny Champlin shoved for his last 319,000 under the gun and picked up exactly one call, from Glen McCaffrey. Showdown.

Champlin: {A-Diamonds}

McCaffrey: {8-Hearts}

Flop:

Champlin: "Alright!"

Turn: {J-Hearts}

River:

Champlin: "Oh, jeez."

Champlin didn't heart that board, and out he busts in 11th place. We will now be redrawing and heading over to the feature table; please stand by.

Alan Jaffray and his brand new 2,000,000 stack raised to 65,000, only for Panayote Vilandos to shove for 598,000. Jaffray thought about it, smiling vaguely all the while. He shook his head slightly, like he could see into the matrix or something -- and then folded with a quick, "Nice hand."

Preflop Action Fizzles to More Or Less Nothing

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dean Hamrick raised to 86,000 under the gun and found a caller in Glen McCaffrey in the big blind; all very exciting. However they proceeded to check down the {5-Diamonds}

board, and McCaffrey took it down with pocket sixes. Not so exciting after all.

Gualter Santos Eliminated in 12th Place ($51,755)

It was folded around to Gualter Santos in the SB who opened for a raise to 90,000 before Alan Jaffray moved all-in. The Brazilian got up out of his chair with an obviously tricky decision that he made by calling with {A-Clubs}

.

Jaffray tabled {2-Hearts}

before the board came {3-Spades}

. The set on the flop good for Jaffray to eliminate one more and it also puts him up to 1,925,000.

Kevin doubled to 550,000, and Champlin was down to 380,000.

Blinds for Santos

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Gualter Santos shoved for a frankly still fairly hefty 500,000 or so. David Lerman in one of the blinds announced, "I'm gonna wake up to aces," but clearly didn't as he passed. Andy Seth passed too and Santos picked up the pot, to shouts of, "VAMOOOOO!!!" from the little hardcore of Brazilian pros including Andre Akkari at the rail.
