The Defending Champion Departs
Level 19
: 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Niall Farrell moved all in for around 1,200,000 and Fabrizio Gonzalez called out of the blinds to create the following showdown.
Niall Farrell: 
Fabrizio Gonzalez: 
The board came 
left the defending champion drawing dead on the turn and Gonzalez rivered the nut straight for good measure to deal the final blow.
One table was still active right before the three-table redraw. Michael Addamo had defended against Rainer Kempe and check-called a bet of 500,000 on the 
flop. On the turn, both players checked and Addamo bet the 
river for 700,000, one third of the pot. Kempe eventually called and mucked when Addamo rolled over the 
for a flush.
