The action folded around to Henrik Gwinner on the button who opened shoved for all of his chips. Glen Chorny folded in the small blind and the decision was with Isaac Baron in the big blind. He looked at his cards and asked for a count as he was seriously considering making the call.

The dealer counted down Gwinner's chips and it was 522,000 in total for Baron to make the call. After a few minutes of thought he made a courageous call and flipped {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Gwinner grimaced as he showed a dominated {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} as his tournament life was in jeopardy.

The board ran out {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Gwinner was eliminated after a great tournament in ninth place for a collect of $199,533.
