Lara Eisenberg raises under the gun to 600,000, Matt Hunt calls from the cutoff, and Tom Middleton calls from the big blind.

The flop comes Spade QSpade JSpade 2, and it checks to Hunt, who bets 500,000. Middleton calls, and Eisenberg check-raises to 2,000,000. Hunt calls, and Middleton tanks for about three minutes before he moves all in for 7,775,000.

Eisenberg four-bets all in over the top for 9,725,000, and Hunt tanks for about four minutes before he folds.

Middleton turns over Spade 10Spade 4 for a ten-high flush, but he is drawing dead against Eisenberg’s Spade ASpade 9 (ace-high flush). (Hunt claims to have folded a set.)

The meaningless turn card is the Spade 6, the meaningless river card is the Diamond 3, and Eisenberg wins the pot with her higher flush to eliminate Middleton in 11th place.

Lara Eisenberg  –  21,150,000  (71 bb)
Tom Middleton  –  Eliminated in 11th Place  ($56,500)
