Niveau 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Shannon Fahey open-jammed a stack of 3,250,000 in early position and action folded to Billy Baxter in the cutoff. "Alright, I'm all in," Baxter said as he shoved a bigger stack to get things heads-up.

Shannon Fahey: 7♣7♦
Billy Baxter: A♥K♠

An ace in the window made it look like Baxter would be taking the lead, but the fanned flop of 7♥9♦A♣ gave Fahey a set as those at the table gasped. The board then finished out 3♠9♣ to improve her to a full house for a double and to leave the Poker Hall of Famer short.

Thong Tran Eliminated in 17th Place ($37,326)

Niveau 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Thong Tran bet 900,000 from early positon and was met with an all-in from Rudolf Fourie in the big blind for 5,750,000. Tran made the call for less with 4,700,000.

Thong Tran: A♠K♦
Rudolf Fourie: A♥K♥

Both players had big slick, but Fourie had the suited variety. The flop of J♣10♥5♥ gave Fourie a flush draw and the South African shouted "We are freerolling baby! Let's go!" The J♥ came on the turn which made Tran slump in his seat in disbelief and Fourie delighted.

The 8♥ completed the board and Tran gathered his belongings and left the main stage, while Fourie couldn't believe the chips he were stacking up.
