On the infamous table 24 just now, Vsevolod Malamud had shoved UTG for 640,000, and the table folded around to Grant Ellis in the small blind. He thought about it for a minute and then took the plunge, calling. Flipping over his Ace of Clubs Jack of Diamonds, his heart must have dropped when he saw Vsevolod’s Ace of Diamonds King of Clubs.

But it was not his time to go! The dealer did his thing, and before Grant had time to mourn his loss the board showed 6 of Spades 6 of Diamonds 2 of Clubs 2 of Diamonds 7 of Hearts, saving his tournament life.

Note: While this post was being written we lost another two valiant competitors.

William Blais finished in 14th, earning himself $1,070, and Mitcheal Ferguson left us earlier than he would have wanted to as well, bagging a 13th place finish worth $1,070.
