Mike Vanier Eliminated in 11th Place ($56,950)
Niveau 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Brock Wilson opened to 125,000 in the hijack and Mike Vanier three-bet to 375,000 in the cutoff. Marco Johnson then four-bet to 850,000 in the small blind and Wilson folded as Vanier five-bet jammed a stack of around 2,300,000. Johnson called with a bigger stack.
Mike Vanier: K♣K♠ 
Marco Johnson: A♦A♥
Vanier picked up kings at the worst time and he was still behind after the 8♠2♠2♦ flop. The 6♠ turn gave him additional outs with a flush draw, but the black 2♣ river was the wrong suit to mark Vanier's elimination as Johnson breathed a big sigh of relief.
