Giovanni Pupo Eliminated in 32nd Place; Murilo Milhomem Eliminated in 31st Place ($300,000)
On the first hand back from break, Giovanni Pupo moved all in for 5,050,000 in middle position and Adam Hendrix called on the button. Murilo Milhomem then reshoved for 8,150,000 in the small blind and Hendrix snap-called to put both opponents at risk.
Giovanni Pupo: K♠J♣
Murilo Milhomem: A♠K♣
Adam Hendrix: K♥K♦
"We need an ace. Ace. Ace. Ace," Milhomem chanted as he ran over to his rail. Hendrix stood up from his seat and rested his head on the chair in anticipation as the flop came J♠10♥5♣, keeping him in the lead with his kings but giving Pupo a pair and Milhomem a straight draw.
"No queen, jack, or ace," Hendrix said, and the 6♣ fell on the turn. The river was the 6♦ and Hendrix scooped the pot to score the double knockout, sending Pupo and Milhomem to the rail in 32nd and 31st place, respectively.
