The Title Will Not Be Defended
Niveau 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading 
. Three players were in the hand, as defending champion James "Jimmy" Barnett bet 80,000 from early position into a pot of what looked to be about 120,000, John Divecha on his direct left folded and Brandon West called in the big blind.
The river came the 
. West led-jammed all in and Barnett snap-called.
West tabled the 
for the nut flush. Barnett saw the bad news and began to stand up as he showed the 
straight as his dream of repeating as Casino Employee event champion was dashed just like that early on day 2 thanks to the cooler.
