Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Quoc Le raised the cutoff to 140,000 with Andres Korn calling on the button and Garrett Crites defending from the big blind.

After Crites checked the J♠2♦8♥ flop, Le bet 170,000, which only Korn called.

A 6♥ came on the turn and Le fired a second barrel of 400,000. Korn raised to 1,100,000, and Le called.

When Le saw the 10♠ complete the board, he jammed, covering Korn. Korn snap-called for his final 1,000,000 or so, and was shown a straight by Le with 9♥7♥.

Korn couldn't match it with J♥10♥ for two pair, and he was eliminated.

Imari Love was eliminated at a nearby table, and only two tables remain.
