Bruce Diamond Eliminated in 8th place ($24,852); Dennis Hotz Eliminated in 9th Place ($19,292)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Daniel Yoshiba opened to 375,000 from cutoff and button Bruce Diamond shoved all-in for 1,350,000. Dennis Hotz in the big blind decided to follow suit and placed all his 890,000 chips in the middle of the table.
Yoshiba then said he'll do it and called putting both Diamond's and Hotz tournament life on the line.
Dennis Hotz: Q♠Q♦
Bruce Diamond: A♠8♣
Daniel Yoshiba: A♦Q♥
There was no sweat for Yoshiba when he caught Broadway on the 10♣K♠J♦ flop, evoking a disgusted groan from both Hotz and Diamond. The whole table was on their feet with the potential double elimination and the pay jump.
The dealer completed the board with a 2♥ turn and a 4♣ river, sending both Hotz and Diamond out of the tournament.
