The action folded to Dutch Boyd on the button and he raised to 55,000. Raymond Ho moved all in from the small blind and the big blind folded. Boyd made the call and the hands were turned on their backs.

Raymond Ho: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Dutch Boyd: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

Board: {7-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Three-time bracelet winner Boyd was well behind preflop and called for 'one time' on the river but was unable to improve and sacrificed 477,000 to Ho.

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Royce Matheson

Bohdan Slyvinskyi raised to 50,000 from middle position, and Royce Matheson moved all in on the button for 461,000. Slyvinskyi delicately counted all of his chips before the clock was called on him. The tournament director informed him he had 20 seconds left to act and about 10 seconds later he made the call.

Royce Matheson: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Bohdan Slyvinskyi: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Board: {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

Matheson had Slyvinskyi's hand dominated, and he was in good shape until the flop appeared queen-high and he was unable to get any help from the turn and river. Matheson departs the Amazon room in 14th place and takes away $14,468 for his efforts.

Shaun Deeb Eliminated in 16th Place ($11,553)

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

Stephen Song called for 20,000 under the gun before Shaun Deeb, and Benjamin Moon also called in middle position. Bohdan Slyvinskyi raised it up to 85,000 from the button, Song folded, but Deeb called as did Moon.

Slyvinskyi bet 115,000 after he was checked to on a flop of {a-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Deeb moved all in. The action was on Moon at this point, and he used a bit of thinking time before also putting his last 270,000 into the middle. Slyvinskyi was facing the two shoves but quickly called.

Bohdan Slyvinskyi: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Shaun Deeb: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Benjamin Moon: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

Turn: {7-Hearts}
River: {k-Diamonds}

Moon had hit a set of deuces on the flop and was well ahead of both Deeb and Slyvinskyi who held a pair of aces respectively. Moon improved to a full house on the turn and by the river had trebled his stack, left Slyvinskyi short and had Deeb heading to the payout desk.

It was a great run for Deeb who had been multi-tabling this event alongside Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw both yesterday and today, ultimately finishing in third-place for $36,330.
