Tony Campagna Eliminated in 30th Place ($16,296)
Level 36: 200,000-400,000, 40,000 ante
Tony Campagna moves all in under the gun for 135,000, and Steve Weinstein (340,000 in chips) calls from the button with 55. Campagna shows 1010, and he'll need it to hold to stay alive.
Other players at the table are shocked that Weinstein called with a low pair, because Campagna had been playing extremely tight. But Weinstein says he'll catch a five, and he asks the dealer to put it out on the flop. Sure enough, it's in the window.
The final board reads J652J, and Weinstein wins the pot with a full house, fives full of jacks. Tony Campagna is eliminated in 30th place, earning $16,296.

Haralabos Doubles Through and Cripples Laura Fink
Level 36: 200,000-400,000, 40,000 ante
From the cut-off Haralabos Voulgaris raises to 45,000, Laura Fink calls from the button as does Sang Hwang from the small blind. The flop comes 1042, Hwang bets 50,000 and Haralabos moves all in for 350,000. After some thought Fink also moves her remaining 390,000 into the pot and Hwang quickly gets out of the way.

Drawing Dead Honey

"I'd say honey, you're drawing dead," replied Ramdin, and the the table shared a late night laugh as the tournament charged fearlessly towards 1 a.m.
