Robbie Kent Eliminated in 7th Place ($8,043); Paul Ewen in 6th ($9,677)
The monotony of Level 24 was just broken with a monster hand that resulted in a double elimination.
It began when action folded to Robbie Kent in the cutoff and he moved all in for 440,000. Jeff Fielder then called from the button, and when action reached Paul Ewen in the big he moved all in over the top for 490,000. Fielder seemed disgusted knowing full well Ewen woke up with a big one, but it was only 50,000 more for him to call, which he did.
Fielder: 
Ewen: 
Kent: 
Indeed, Ewen woke up with pocket rockets, which dominated Kent and had Fielder in a bad spot. That all changed when the flop came out 
.
"Oh wow," Fielder said quietly as the railbird reacted to the sudden turn of events. Both Ewen and Kent watched helplessly as neither the 
turn nor 
river paired their hand. The stacks were broken down to verify that Ewen had more than Kent, which he did. That meant Kent became the seventh-place finisher and Ewen the sixth.
They're now down to five.
