Nathan Russler vs. Francisco Gomez
Nathan Russler (top left) tanks after Francisco Gomez (far right) moved all in preflop.

David Jackson raised from the hijack to 65,000, Nathan Russler reraised from the button to 180,000, and Francisco Gomez moved all in from the big blind for 650,000.

Jackson thought for a while before he folded, and then Russler tanked for a long time before he folded as well. Gomez took the pot.

Francisco Gomez  –  940,000  (31 bb)
David Jackson  –  1,325,000  (44 bb)
Nathan Russler  –  1,375,000  (46 bb)

A while later at another table, with the board showing Ks3h3c10s on the turn, Brian Ray bet 125,000. Butchie Mitchell moved all in, and the next two players folded.

Ray thought for a bit before he called with KcJh for two pair, kings and threes, and Mitchell turned over As10c for a lower two pair, tens and threes.

Mithcell needed an ace or a ten to stay alive, but the river card was the 3d. Ray won the pot with a higher full house, threes full of kings, to eliminate Mitchell in 30th place.

Brian Ray  –  1,385,000  (46 bb)
Butchie Mitchell  –  Eliminated in 30th Place  ($8,002)

With 29 players left, the average chip stack is about 1,200,000 (48 big blinds), and the remaining players are all guaranteed at least $8,002.
