In Level 28 with blinds of 16,000/32,000, a series of preflop raises resulted in "KingKong24" jamming for 525,000 from the cutoff and being called by "joey1way," who was on the button.

Any hopes that "KingKong24" had for a double quickly seemed to fade away as the flop came , giving "joey1way" top two pair and leaving "KingKong" in need of hitting a three outer to pull back ahead. The turn improved both players' absolute hand strengths, though their relative situation remained unchanged. The river completed the runout and "joey1way" took down the pot with aces full, eliminating "KingKong24" in 11th place to earn a payday of $648.
Two more eliminations are needed to reach the final table, both of which will earn a newly-laddered payjump of $864.
