When Hennigan was seen leaving the tournament area, Simone Andrian let PokerNews know he had eliminated him holding aces against Hennigan's fives on a ten-high board.

Andrian now sits amongst the biggest stacks.

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The board read 10♦J♣6♣J♠, and Aram Zobian was in the big blind with 15,000 in chips and was taking his time to decide whether to put the rest of his chips into the pot, which was about 350,000. His opponent, Michael Phillips, was in late position and called the clock, and Zobian called after the clock counted down 30 seconds.

Aram Zobian: K♥6♥ All in
Michael Phillips: 8♠8♥
