Matthew Wood Eliminated in 16th Place ($26,338)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Matthew Wood - 16th Place
Matthew Wood - 16th Place

Shortly after Dylan Thomassie's elimination, Matthew Wood raised to 40,000 from early position before Andrea Vezzani reraised from late position. Wood shoved and Vezzani called, showing down {3-}{3-} against Wood's {A-}{A-}.

Another three on the flop was enough to seal Wood's fate. He's now collected $26,338 for his 16th place finish, but Vezzani is now our new chip leader with more than three million in his stack!
