Team Hauptman Eliminated in 18th Place ($6,454)
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Hicham Mahmouki of Team Boujmala had action on him, and open-shoved from the button, covering both blinds by quite some way. David Hong of Team Hauptman made the call.
David Hong: A♠5♥ 
Hicham Mahmouki: 10♣10♦
It was the second time in quick succession that Hong had been all in with ace-five, the second time his teammate Michael Hauptman had called for an ace, and the second time that they had hit top pair, as the 7♠Q♦A♦ flop put them in good stead to stay alive. The K♦ turn was the sweatiest card in the deck, as Mahmouki picked up a Royal Flush draw. He wouldn't hit it, but the J♣ for a straight was enough as he and teammate Samy Boujmala celebrated together.
