Chris Brewer raises from middle position to 14,000, Dan Smith calls from the button, and Iaron Lightbourne calls from the big blind.

All three players check to the turn on a board of Spade 9Heart 9Heart 2Spade 3, Lightbourne checks, and Brewer bets 17,000. Smith calls, and Lightbourne check-raises to 93,000. Brewer calls, and Smith folds.

The river card is the Diamond J, and Lightbourne uses one of his Time Chips to tank for a while before he moves all in. Brewer calls all in for about 260,000 with Spade AHeart A for two pair, aces and nines.

But Lightbourne turns over Club 9Club 3 to win the pot with a full house, nines full of threes, eliminating Brewer.

Iaron Lightbourne  –  965,000  (161 bb)
Chris Brewer  –  Eliminated

Brewer is taking advantage of the single re-entry option, so he is returning to the field with a fresh starting stack.

Chris Brewer  –  250,000  (42 bb)
