The Proverbial Two Birds

John Nguyen opened the pot to 20,000 from the cutoff seat before William McMahon moved all in for 58,000 in the next seat over. Action came to Samuel Trickett, and he made the call all in for his last 40,000 as well. Let's have a three-way showdown, shall we?

Nguyen: {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}
McMahon: {K-Spades} {9-Spades}
Trickett: {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

Our intrepid field reporter was momentarily distracted him from catching the board, but king-nine got there with one pair, moving McMahon up to 130,000. That knocks both Nguyen and Trickett out of the tournament, and the big board says 35 players remain.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Kyle Julius is the first to eclipse a million chips in Event #11.

Julius opened and Hue Mun moved all in for his remaining 230,000 chips. Julius called with {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Mun tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

The flop was clean, {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and so too was the turn, the {10-Spades}. The river was yahtzee for Julius though, it was the {6-Hearts}.

Mun's rail exploded in an angry outcry as he packed his things and hit the rail.

Julius is now the owner of heaps, he has 1,100,000 chips.

Campbell Crippled Then Busted

James Campbell has been eliminated just a few hands after the break.

Campbell was crippled by Allan Le when the two got it in preflop. Campbell held {8-Spades}{6-Spades} and Le tabled {k-Clubs}[9s}.

The board ran {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Campbell's stack sunk to 40,000 chips. Le's grew to 155,000 chips.

A few hands later we witnessed Campbell stand and leave signifying that he is busto.

Break Dance

That's eight of ten levels in the books today, and it's time for the final break of the evening. This one will be 25 minutes again as we'll take a few minutes to get those pesky purple T500 chips out of our sight.

We think you'd like them if you tried them.
