Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Garry Gates open shoved for his last 260,000 from the hijack, and it folded around to Nicolas Fierro in the big blind. Once he got the official number, he tossed in chips for the call.

Gates: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Fierro: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Fierro had woken up with a big hand in the big blind, and Gates was looking to catch a two outer. The board ran down {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, and Gates busted just short of the unofficial final table. Meanwhile, Fierro is back to over a million chips.

Peter Hengsakul raised it up to 50,000 in middle position, and Allan Vrooman called from the small blind. Allen Cunningham also called from the big blind, and the flop came down {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}. It checked to Hengsakul, and he bet out 75,000. Vrooman folded, but Cunningham elected to check raise it to 170,000. Hengsakul made the call, and the turn was the {2-Diamonds}. Cunningham thought for about 15 seconds before moving all in for 220,000, and Hengsakul snap called.

Hengsakul: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Cunningham: {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Cunningham had flopped top pair, but unfortunately for him, he was drawing dead to the set of Hengsakul. The meaningless river was the {j-Hearts}, and Cunningham bubbled the official final table.
