Chris Stewart Eliminated in 12th Place ($5,898)

Livello 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

After doubling up Duster Ellis with ace-jack versus jacks, Chris Stewart was left with less than a big blind when he got it all in against the same adversary.

Stewart held Jx9x while Ellis tabled Ax3x. The flop came out Ax3x9x to give Ellis two pair and the runout of 5x10x changed nothing to award Ellis the pot, sending Stewart to the exit.

Smith Starts Off Strong by Eliminating Aamer

Livello 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a flop of 8♥4♥2♦, Yahya Aamer made it 40,000 to go but then Zachary raised him to 100,000.

Aamer responded by making it 300,000 and Smith quickly moved all in, covering him. Aamer paused for a few seconds as he looked at the clock.

"Did you flop a set?" he inquired, shaking his head. After a few more seconds, he made the call, putting himself at risk, and the cards were tabled.

Yahya Aamer: 9♦9♥
Zachary Smith: 10♦10♥

The runout of 8♣Q♣ meant that Smith's tens held up and he was awarded the huge pot while Aamer was sent to the rail early.

"Phew! That was a big one! When he asked if I flopped a set I was scared he might have queens or something!" Smith was relieved as he stacked his new chips and is the first player to surpass 1,000,000 chips.
