There was a three-way all-in situation at Table 17, with Ryan Wyant all in from the big blind for about 80,000, Richard Smith all in from middle position for 139,000, and the player in the cutoff covering them both.

These were their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Cutoff:  6s6h
Richard Smith:  Ad10d
Ryan Wyant:  Ac6c

The board came As8d5d4d9h, and Smith paired his ace on the flop and turned a diamond flush to clinch the pot, doubling thru the cutoff and eliminate Wyant in 199th place.

Richard Smith  –  376,000  (31 bb)
Ryan Wyant  –  Eliminated in 199th Place  ($1,540)

With 198 players remaining from a field of 4,529, the average chip stack is about 457,000 (38 big blinds). The remaining players are all guaranteed at least $1,640 each, and the next pay jump is $1,740 for 180th place.
