Just a few minutes before the first break Paul Lentz was eliminated from the tournament.

After losing two big pots, he shoved his remaing chips from under the gun with {a-}{k-}, and it folded around to the big blind, who called with pocket fives, which held and ended Lentz' impressive tournament run.

River Saves Bhave

Level 34 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Rahul Bhave shoved all in from under-the-gun, and after Stewart Kirby three-bet shoved, the remaining players got out of the way.

Rahul Bhave: {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Stewart Kirby: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Things didn't look good for Bhave on the [JsJh4vQc] board, but the {k-Hearts} on the river gave Bhave a better two pair and extended his tournament run.
