Peter Vitantonio was all in from the button for 625,000 with Qd7d, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the JdJc of Steve Queen in the small blind.

The board came Js6s3d5c8c — Queen flopped a set of jacks and Vitantonio turned a gutshot straight draw, but the river card was a blank. Queen won the pot with his set of jacks to eliminate Vitantonio in 11th place.

Steve Queen  –  2,850,000  (29 bb)
Peter Vitantonio  –  Eliminated in 11th Place  ($48,805)

With 10 players remaining from a field of 1,165, the average chip stack is about 4.65 million (47 big blinds). The remaining players are all guaranteed at least $61,325 each, and as soon as one more player busts, they will redraw for seats at the final table.

Action will continue tonight until the end of Level 28, or until there are six players left, whichever comes first.
