Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The action started with Noah Vaillancourt opening to 16,000 from middle position. Mikk Matiiesen then moved all in for 107,000 from the small blind, before Michael Gathy moved all in over the top from the big blind. Vaillancourt folded his hand, before the other two players tabled their cards.

Matiiesen: {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Gathy: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, giving Gathy a full house on the flop, as he faded an ace to move up to just under 350,000 in chips.

As all this was happening, Joe Ford was all in and at risk on the neighbouring table, and was unable to improve, as he was also eliminated from the tournament.
