Jonathan Marcu moved all in under the gun for 70,000, and Marc Schiller moved all in over the top from UTG+1 for about 700,000 with AdKc.

Marcu turned over 8c7d, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came AcQdJcJh2s, and Schiller won the pot with two pair, aces and jacks, to eliminate Marcu in ninth place.

Marc Schiller  –  950,000  (24 bb)
Jonathan Marcu  –  Eliminated in 9th Place  ($1,151)

Yvonne McQuillan

About halfway thru the level, Phil Rigby had taken the lead with more than a million in chips, and he raised from the button to 20,000. Yvonne McQuillan moved all in from the big blind for 195,000, and Rigby thought for a while before he called with 3h3c.

McQuillan turned over Ks10h, and she needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 10s8d5h7d4d, and McQuillan paired her ten on the flop to win the pot and double up in chips.

Yvonne McQuillan  –  420,000  (21 bb)
Phil Rigby  –  830,000  (42 bb)

Greg Spinder
Greg Spinder

With the board showing Kc9s6s4s on the turn, Greg Spinder checked the big blind, Yvonne McQuillan went all in from the button for more than 500K, and Spinder tanked for a while before he called all in for about 98,000 with Js9c for a pair of nines with a jack-high flush draw.

But McQuillan turned over Qs7s for a queen-high flush, and Spinder was drawing dead.

The meaningless river card was the 9h, giving Spinder a little salt in the wound with trip nines. “We would have gotten it all in anyway,” said Spinder as he got up to leave. McQuillan won the pot with her flush to eliminate Spinder in fourth place.

Yvonne McQuillan  –  875,000  (55 bb)
Greg Spinder  –  Eliminated in 4th Place  ($3,294)

With three players remaining, the average chip stack is about 620,000 (39 big blinds), and the next player to be eliminated will earn $5,415.
