After a long quiet stretch in the tournament we just saw an all-in confrontation that resulted in the elimination of Ben Heath.
Nick Maimone raised to 110,000 under the gun plus one and Heath shoved all in over the top for 570,000 from the cutoff.
The action folded back to Maimone, and he tanked for a bit before making the call.

There hasn't been too much action as of late other than Dario Sammartino getting his stack in twice. However, both times the shove went uncalled and he took it down preflop.
Sean Winter limped from middle position, Nick Maimone did the same from the button, and Chance Kornuth checked his option from the big to bring about a flop. Kornuth checked, Winter bet 60,000, and Maimone raised to 150,000.
Kornuth folded, Winter called, and then both players checked the turn. Winter then checked the river, Maimone bet 250,000, and Winter called only to muck when his opponent tabled the for a straight.

Action folded to a short-stacked Ben Heath on the button and he open-shipped for his last 315,000. Dario Sammartino folded from the small blind, and Sean Winter made a quick call from the big.
Heath:
Winter:
Heath was behind, but not after the flop delivered him a pair of kings.
"I've hit two outers before," Winter said. While that may be the case, this was not one of those times as the blanked on the turn followed by the river to give Heath the double.
