Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Timothy Shifflet raised to 500,000 in the cutoff, Richard Buckingham three-bet to 1,500,000 in the small blind, and Victor Lee called in the big blind for about 500,000 to put himself at risk. Shifflet then four-bet jammed for 3,435,000 and Buckingham called with the covering stack.
Victor Lee: Q♦7♦ 
Timothy Shifflet: K♥K♠
Richard Buckingham: A♦K♠
Shifflet's pair of kings remained best as the board ran out 5♣9♣8♣Q♣5♥ to scoop the main and side pot. Lee was eliminated in the process.
