Hand #28 Pedro Rios Eliminated in 8th Place ($54,053)

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Pedro Rios - 8th
Pedro Rios - 8th

Hand #28- On the first hand back from the dinner break, Pedro Rios moved all in for his last 510,000. Martin Hanowski made the call, and we had a race on our hands.

Hanowski: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Rios: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop kept Hanowski in front, coming {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Rios could now catch a queen for the win, and the {a-Hearts} gave him another king for an out as well. None of that came though, as the river brought the {9-Spades}, and Rios was knocked out in 8th Place, while Hanowski is up to 2.8 million.

Hands #11 and 12 Philippe Vert Eliminated in 9th Place ($42,230)

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Phillip Vert
Phillip Vert

Hand #11- Nam Le made it 60,000 to go, and Martin Hanowski called from the small blind. Michael Rocco also called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and Hanowski fired out 72,000. Both players folded, and Hanowski won the pot.

Hand #12- Phillippe Vert made it 65,000 to go from early position, and it folded around to Hanowski, who repopped it to 135,000. Vert made the call, and the flop came {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Vert checked over to Hanowski, who fired out 125,000. Vert tanked for about a minute before tossing out a check raise to 250,000. Hanowski made the call, and there was already over 600,000 in the middle when the {5-Clubs} hit the turn.

Vert thought it over for another minute or so before firing out 325,000. Hanowski tanked for about 45 seconds, then in a flash, he moved all in, and Vert snap called.

Vert: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Hanowski: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Vert had flopped a set of sixes, and he was well out in front of Hanowski's pocket aces. Hanowski was looking for an ace and an ace only on the river, and....well.....

River: {a-Hearts}

For the second time today, a two outer ace came on the river to decide a huge pot, as Hanowski came from behind to knock Vert out in 9th place. The mother ship was full of groans as a shell shocked Vert made his way out of the stadium, leaving Hanowski with a mountain of new chips, that all in all looked to be 2.1 million.
