Benjamin Nguyen Eliminated in 17th Place ($11,189)
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Having scored an elimination in the previous hand, Mariano Balfagon went after another. When the action folded to him on the button, he moved all in. There was no small blind in the hand, so action was on Benjamin Nguyen in the big blind.
Nguyen took some time to survey the situation, but decided to make the call.
Benjamin Nguyen: K♦2♦ 
Mariano Balfagon: A♣8♠
Balfagon made a pair on the 3♥9♥8♣ flop, which would hold on to remain the best hand as the board was completed by the 2♣ turn and 6♣ river.
