Tyler Brown Eliminated in 6th Place ($92,362)

Claudio Elizalde

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Tyler Brown moved all-in under the gun and it folded to Michael Moncek in the small blind, who also went all in, barely covering Brown.

Tyler Brown: K♠Q♣
Michael Moncek: J♠J♥

The flop spread clean for Moncek with the 9♠3♥3♠, to which Brown said, "I'll take a spade...", hoping to sweat more outs on the turn.

Instead it brought the K♣, pulling Brown into the lead. He remained composed as the J♣ peeled on the river, sending him off the main stage and catapulting Moncek up in the chip counts.

No-Limit Hold'em

The action folded to Michael Banducci on the button who moved all in for 2,300,000 and Fernando Habegger elected to move all in over the top from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and the cards were shown.

Michael Banducci: K♣Q♠
Fernando Habegger: A♦10♦

It was a fair fight preflop, but when the board ran out K♦9♥7♠9♦Q♥, it was the two pair for Banducci that scored the pot and full double up off Habegger.

Christian Harder Eliminated In 5th Place ($124,266)

Andrew Knowles

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Christian Harder moved all in for just over 2,000,000 from under the gun and it folded around to Alex Livingston in the big blind who made the call with the bigger stack.

Christian Harder: Q♦9♦
Alex Livingston: A♠8♥

The flop gave hope for Harder when the dealer fanned out 9♥8♦6♥, however when the turn fell the A♥, Harder was in need of a nine to stay alive. The 7♦ peeled off on the river and Harder was forced to settle for a fifth place finish.

Alex Livingston open-jammed from the button, covering both his opponents in the blinds. Fernando Habegger took a few seconds before making the call for his last roughly 3,300,000 in the big blind.

Fernando Habegger: A♦Q♠
Alex Livingston: A♠10♥

Habegger was in great shape with the better kicker, and when the board ran out Q♥Q♦7♠5♠10♣, it was the flopped trips for Habegger that scored the pot and full double up.
