Level 26
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
The action folded around to Bart Lybaert in the cutoff, and he raised to 135k. Adam Rude moved all in from the small blind for 500k and Benjamin Pollak four-bet to around 1.6m. Lybaert quickly got out of the way and the remaining two players tabled their hands.
Adam Rude: 
Benjamin Pollak: 
Board: 
Pollak took a massive lead when he hit a set on the flop, but he was still cheering for his opponent.
"Ten of hearts on the turn! One time!", said, Pollak, as Rude stood up from his chair.
But the seven of diamonds on the turn cemented Rude's fate, and Pollak improved to a full house on the river for good measure.
Rude departed with $57,010 for his efforts after lasting just one hand of the final level of the day.

Richard Robinson opened from early position with a raise to 135,000 and Jared Palmer called behind. Jack Duong called as did Ryan Phan on the button and Sharukh Shaw in the small blind. From the big blind, Ralph Massey then moved all in for 780,000. Robinson then moved all in over the top for about four million. Palmer folded quickly as did Duong but Pham tanked a bit before releasing his own hand. Shaw folded as well so it was on to a showdown.
Richard Robinson: 
Ralph Massey: 
Massey's brother Aaron had come over to sweat him as the 
flop fell, giving Massey no help. The 
on the turn was no help either, nor was the 
on the river. That meant that Massey would be sent to the rail as Robinson moved over five million in chips.
