Thomas Kysar Eliminated in 2nd Place ($248,502)

Nível 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Diego Ventura had been chopping away at Thomas Kysar by continuing to put pressure on his stack throughout the last few hands of heads-up play, via repeatedly moving all-in from the button.

Ventura would do so again in the final hand, but this time Kysar made the call for his remaining 4,300,000 chips.

Thomas Kysar: K♦2♦
Diego Ventura: A♠8♦

In a bit of a roller coaster runout, Kysar flopped a pair of deuces on J♦5♣2♣ to take the lead.

The board would pair on the J♣ turn, opening up additional avenues to victory for Ventura.

One of those avenues would materialize on the 5♥ river, giving both players jacks and fives, but Ventura’s ace kicker would top the king kicker of Kysar and eliminate him in second place.

Francis Anderson Eliminated in 4th Place ($131,324)

Nível 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Francis Anderson moved all-in from early position for 3,900,000 and was called by Thomas Kysar in the small blind.

Francis Anderson: A♥10♦
Thomas Kysar: J♦J♣

"I need an ace," commented Anderson, who got a bit of help on the 5♣10♣5♦ flop.

The K♥ on the turn and the 4♠ on the river ended Anderson's run in fourth place, good for a six-figure payday.

Louie Torres Eliminated in 6th Place ($72,773)

Nível 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Thomas Kysar raised to 1,000,000 from early position and Louie Torres moved all-in for 4,950,000 from the big blind.

Kysar made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Louie Torres: K♠K♥
Thomas Kysar: A♠Q♣

Torres was in good shape to score the double, but fell far behind Kysar on the 10♦8♣A♣ flop.

The 2♣ turn would leave Torres with only one available king and the 5♣ on the river would send the him to the payout desk.

Jimmy Setna Eliminated in 9th Place ($32,897)

Nível 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Louie Torres opened to 500,000 from early position and Jimmy Setna reshoved all in for 1,800,000 from the button, with Torres making the quick call.

Jimmy Setna: A♣K♥
Louie Torres: A♠A♥

It was a cooler for Setna, who would find little additional help on the 10♦8♥2♣ flop, but the J♥ turn did provide a bit of a sweat.

However, the brick 2♦ on the river secured the elimination and sent Setna to the payout desk.
