Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
With the elimination of Michael Lin, the final table has been reached in the Salute to Warriors event. Players are taking a quick break before the final table commences.
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Will Butcher raised to 1,600,000 on the button and Michael Lin defended the big blind. The flop was K?Q?6? and Lin check-called 1,400,000 from Butcher.
The turn brought the A? and Lin checked a second time. Butcher didn't waste much time before announcing "All-in," sliding his remaining stack of nearly 7,000,000 in the middle.
Lin, who was covered by Butcher albeit not by much, gave it about two minutes of thought before calling it off.
Michael Lin: K?Q?
Will Butcher: A?8?
Lin was ahead with his kings and queens but Butcher drilled the 6? on the river for aces up to send Lin to the rail.

Timothy Deering: A?10?
Raffaello Locatelli: K?K?
The board ran out J?2?3?6?10?, offering no help to Deering and sending him to the rail in 11th place for $15,672.

Lucas Lew raised to 1,300,000 from the button and got called by Kelly Gall in the big blind leading to a 8?4?6? flop.
Gall checked over to Lew who continued with a bet of 1,200,000. Gall called to bring out the 3? on the turn
Gall checked to Lew again who tossed out a bet of 3,000,000. Gall counted out a check-raise to 7,200,000 and Lew quickly jammed. Gall snap-called and sent both players to a two card runout with Lew's tournament life at risk.
Lucas Lew: A?8?
Kelly Gall: 7?5?
When the cards were turned up, Lew got the unfortunate news that he was drawing dead as Gall had flopped the nut straight.
The dealer put out the inconsequential 6? on the river and made Lew's exit official as he headed to the payout desk in 12th place for $12,443.

In the first hand of the day, Ryan Stephens raised to 1,200,000 on the button. Rajesh Goyal three-bet shoved all in for 9,800,000 from the small blind and Stephens followed with a quick call.
Rajesh Goyal: A?8?
Ryan Stephens: 6?6?
Stephens flopped Goyal nearly dead on the J?6?4? flop, but a potential backdoor straight opened up on the 7? turn. The river, however, was the 4? and Goyal tapped the table before making his departure.
