Brown Has to Settle for Second
After a lengthy period of every pot being taken down by a simple preflop raise, it folded around to Isaac Settle in the small blind who just completed. Cory Brown checked his big blind, and they saw a flop.
The flop came down 
and Settle bet out 65,000. Brown made the call.
Settle bet out another 75,000 on the 
turn and a further 75,000 on the 
. Brown called both streets and turned over 
for a pair of queens. Settle however flipped 
for an open-ended straight draw on the flop that had morphed into a flush by the river, and took the pot.
Settle was up to around a million in chips after that.
Bhatti Goal
The action folded around to Deepak Bhatti who moved all in from early to mid position for 270,000 with 
. Cory Brown announced all in from the small blind with 
, allowing Dash Dudley to make an easy fold with 
in the big.
The 
flop brought more action than a Die Hard Boxset with Brown spiking top pair, but Bhatti flopping both a nut flush and Broadway straight draw. The 
was as raggy as an old dishcloth, but the 
brought the straight to double Bhatti up to around the 575,000 mark.
Dudley Survives
It's been a tough day for Dash Dudley who finds himself down to just 335,000. But he's still hanging in; he just pushed all in from the button to pick up the blinds and antes uncontested.
With Deepak Bhatti doubling through, Dudley remains the short stack at the table.
Dudley Doubles Up With a Little Help From His Friends
Dash Dudley shoved in early position for his last 430,000, and although it took a very long time for everyone else to fold, fold they did, and Dudley bumped his stack to 550,000.
So next hand, under the gun this time, Dudley shoved again. This time Bart Davis made the call. Everyone else folded, and they flipped their cards.

Davis: 
"Ace!" shouted Dudley and accidentally knocked his chair over. He ran over to Joe Cada, perched at the rail, and touched him for good luck.
"ACE!!!" Dudley continued to order the deck as the dealer prepared to put some community cards on the board, but it would be the queen that saved him.
Board: 
Dudley thanked Cada for his good luck with a high five as he doubled to around 1.2 million. Davis dropped to around 1.35 million.
Richard Rice Eliminated in 9th Place ($51,735)
With father Irving swallowing the final table bubble last night, Richard Rice has become the second Rice (or should the singular be Rie?) to be eliminated from Event #3, picking up $51,735 for his troubles.
It was fan favourite Nicholas Mitchell who kick-started the action, opening for a raise of 110,000 with 
from early to mid position. Rice moved in a few seats down for a total of 575,000 with 
, and Mitchell, after a brief pause, made the call.
After a 
board, the Frat Pack erupted like Mount Vesuvius as their boy Mitchell picked up the pot. Rice, meanwhile, departed with a smile, and to a ncie ripple of applause.
