Michael Moncek Eliminated in 22nd Place ($100,000); John Riordan Eliminated in 23rd Place ($100,000)
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick and Michael Moncek were heads up on the 3♠9♠A♥ flop. Chidwick checked from the big blind to Moncek in middle position, who fired a pot-sized bet of 425,000.
Chidwick then put Moncek all in for about 810,000, and Moncek quickly called off.
Michael Moncek: 10♣9♦8♦6♣
Stephen Chidwick: A♦K♣5♥3♥
Chidwick's two pair became a full house on the 3♣ turn, leaving Moncek drawing dead. The river came the meaningless J♠ as Moncek said his goodbyes and took his exit.
Shortly before, John Riordan was eliminated as the first player after the redraw in 23rd place.
