De la Guardia Wins Long battle to Progress
Level 8
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jose De la Guardia and Scott Lipshutz were one of the first pairs of players to make it to heads-up, but it took a few hours for one of them to finally succumb.

. Lipshutz was dominated with king-seven and failed to catch-up through the 
board. The man from Panama looked exhausted but overjoyed at making it through with 74,300 chips.
