"Youngest Player in the Field" Doubles Up
Level 29
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Charles Mitchell, who registered for the event just 11 days after turning 50, opened to 275,000 from early position.
Steven Butler, from the button, went all in. Mitchell, who had 420,000 less than Butler, made the call.
Charles Mitchell: 
Steven Butler:
Upon seeing the bad news, Butler was openly frustrated with himself: "That's what happens when you go card dead, you make terrible decisions the first real hand you see."
The board ran eight-high and Mitchell doubled up to exactly four million, leaving Butler with a little less than four big blinds.

Liebert Stays Hot
Level 29
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action folded around to Kathy Liebert on the button. She put in a raise to 300,000. Brian Topp, the small blind, thought for a moment before moving all in.
"I'm gonna need a count" Liebert told the dealer. That count came to 1,565,000. "So 1.2 more. I got 13, and that's 1.2 more. I think I can afford that," Liebert said to herself. "What do you think?" she asked Topp, not really looking for an answer. "I'm feeling lucky. I can afford it." Liebert repeated as she counted out her calling chips and put them in the middle.
Brian Topp: 
Kathy Liebert: 
Liebert was ahead, and the 
runout offered no help to Topp. Liebert scooped the pot while Topp headed for the rail.
"Lotta punting going on," Liebert said after the hand. "I thought he had two overs. I thought I'd be a slight favorite or flipping, I didn't expect to be a big favorite."
