Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Richie Allen was in the small blind and raised to 80,000 and Matthew Dodd made the call in the big blind. The flop arrived with A♠9♠K♠ and Allen bet out 80,000 and Dodd called.

The turn 3♣ had Allen bet again for 145,000 and Dodd three-bet all in for 730,000. Allen had to take some time to think about it and in the end he made the call, putting Dodd at risk.

Matthew Dodd: 3♠10♠ All in
Richie Allen: Q♠K♦

Dodd yelled, "Please hold, please hold", and it worked as the 10♣ fell, leaving Dodd with the flush which beat Allen's pair of kings.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The chips went all in before the flop, but not without a little controversy. Jeffrey Vertes had raised from the hijack and Oblip Kuppusamyvenkates three-bet from the small blind. Vertes put a pile of chips in the middle and flipped over his cards, the J♦J♥.

Vertes mistakenly thought Kuppusamyvenkates had gone all in, but he had one 25,000 chip behind. After the tournament director explained that Kuppusamyvenkates gets to make a decision as he would if he didn’t know the cards, he put in his last chip in the middle.

Oblip Kuppusamyvenkates: A♣Q♦ All in
Jeffrey Vertes: J♥J♦

The board ran out K♣10♥4♣3♣3♠ and Kuppusamyvenkates was eliminated.
