[Removed:140] Eliminated in 13th Place ($600,000)

Level 35 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Main Feature Hand #37: A raise to 1,200,000 by Henry Lu saw [Removed:140] move all in for 10,900,000 in the small blind and Lu beat him into the pot.

[Removed:140]: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Henry Lu: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

While the German rail fell almost silent and shouted just a few words, the {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop sent Rau further behind.

He was drawing dead on the {a-Hearts} turn to make the {10-Hearts} river a formality. Rau takes home $600,000 for his efforts and the field has been whittled down to the final 12 hopefuls.
