HillKerby

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Joao Vieira was all in from the big blind for his last 1,000. Michael McKenna announced a pot-sized raise and the floor was called to figure out the amount. It was ultimately ruled that he was able to raise to 70,000 as if there was a full big blind in the pot. Everybody else folded.

Joao Vieira:
Michael McKenna:

The board ran out and Vieira's eights and sevens were no good to McKenna's kings up, eliminating him from the tournament in 30th place as the bubble boy after over 30 hands of hand-for-hand play.

HillKerby

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Action folded to Steven Wolansky on the button who raised to 40,000, leaving himself 1,000 behind.

On an adjacent table, there was a massive three-way pot that caused a delay for the runout. Eventually it was time to proceed with the hand.

Vieira Left With Single 1K Chip

Yori Epskamp

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Joao Vieira raised to 60,000 of his 61,000 stack, Michael McKenna called two seats over and Timothy Flanders called from the blinds. The flop was and Flanders checked. Vieira, not all in yet, shrugged and checked, as did McKenna.

On the turn, Flanders let out a chuckle. "One thousand?" he asked, but logically, the minimum bet was still 20,000. Flanders then tossed in the 20,000 and Vieira went deep into the tank. He shifted himself upright in his seat, studied the board intensely and tried to figure it out if he had a chance to win it.

"My hand is really bad," he said with a wry smile.

After more than two minutes, he settled on a fold and accidentally exposed . McKenna, however, instantly jumped on the opportunity that had presented itself and snap pot-raised the bet of Flanders. The Brit open-folded and Vieira had to continue with just a single 1K chip.

Timothy Flanders	156,000 -108,000	-108,000
