Luke Edwards Eliminated in 21st Place (A$14,818)

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Luke Edwards shoved from the middle position for 150,000 and was called by Bernie Stang on the button and Sam Vakili in the small blind.

The flop came {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}, Vakili checked and Stang quickly shoved. Vakili asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Stang had 889,000 behind. Vakili tanked for a while and then decided to make the call with the bigger stack.

Luke Edwards: {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Bernie Stang: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Sam Vakili: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Edwards needed to hit a runner-runner to stay alive. Stang had a pair of eights in his hand and nothing more. Vakili held two overcards and a flush draw.

The turn was the {k-Clubs} to now also give Vaikili a gutshot to a Broadway but keep Stang ahead. Edwards' fate was sealed as he was drawing dead.

The river completed the board with the {3-Clubs} for Stang to improve to two pair to eliminate Edwards and earn a full double-up through Vakili.
