Jonathan Abdellatif raised from the under the gun position to 37,000. His left-hand neighbor, Tom McCormick, called and when the action was on Nikita Luther she bet every single chip in front of her, worth 352,000.

Jonathan Abdellatif bet all-in himself and when the action was on McCormick he told the table he was gonna need a minute. After a short while, McCormick folded and the cards went on their backs.

Jonathan Abdellatif: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Nikita Luther: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The board was {4-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Abdellatif raked in the pot as Luther said goodbye to the table and walked to the payout desk. McCormick told the table he folded {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and that's why it took him a minute to make a decision.

Barry Hutter raised to 45,000 from early position and Kris Homerding moved all in for 211,000 from the small blind. It folded back to Hutter who called and the cards were shown.

Barry Hutter: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}

Hutter climbed over the two million chip mark and Homerding was eliminated in 16th place earning $18,495.
