James Anderson raised UTG+1 to 120,000, Manuel Labandeira moved all in from the big blind for 1,550,000, and Anderson called with AcKc.

Labandeira turned over 9d9c, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came AhKd2s6s4s, and Anderson flopped two pair, aces and kings, to win the pot and eliminate Labandeira in 15th place.

James Anderson  –  5,300,000  (88 bb)
Manuel Labandeira  –  Eliminated in 15th Place  ($40,895)


With 14 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 4.49 million (75 big blinds), and they are guaranteed to earn at least $50,510 each.

Action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 29, around 1:00 am.
