Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

It took back-to-back hands to eliminate our fourth-place finisher.

It started with Jonathan Bredin opened the action with a raise to 50,000 from the small blind. Raj Ramakrishnan announced himself all in from the big blind, and Bredin excitedly motioned for a call!

Bredin:
Ramakrishnan:

Both players were pretty close in chips as the make-or-break coin flip was on. The flop fell to put Bredin into the lead with his aces, and they held through the turn and river. After a countdown of chips, Bredin had 375,000 and Ramakrishnan had that covered by just 6,000.

The very next hand and Ramakrishnan was all in for just 3,000 fromt he small blind after he antes up. The play folded around and Ramakrishnan was all in holding against the of Daniel Laidlaw out of the big blind.

The flop left Ramakrishnan drawing very thin and with a hitting the turn and a landing on the river, it was all over for Ramakrishnan with NZ$28,900 for his time.
