Level 42 : 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante
Andrew Mckenzie
Andrew Mckenzie

After action folded to Andrew McKenzie he shoved all in, which got immediate folds from Daniel Ghobrial on the button and Nicholas Chow in his small blind. From the big blind, Morten Christensen, with a chipstack close to McKenzie's, then went into the tank.

After about a minute he made the call, the players tabled their hands, and Mortensen was relieved to see that he was ahead.

Andrew McKenzie: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Morten Christensen: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Mortensen would stay ahead through the {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} runout, and after the stacks were counted it was actually McKenzie who had the slightly shorter stack and he was eliminated just shy of the final table.
