First into the pot, Marc McLaughlin open-shoved all in for 1,120,000. A couple seats on down the line, James Akenhead made the call to put McLaughlin at risk as the rest of the table folded out of the way.

Showdown
McLaughlin: {A-Spades} {9-Spades}
Akenhead: {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

The board ran out uneventfully, coming {Q-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {5-Spades} {9-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. Chop it up.

*****

On the next hand, McLaughlin once again opened with an all in for his full stack of 1,210,000. This time, Ian Tavelli would quickly make the call, and McLaughlin was heads up for his tournament life for the second consecutive hand.

Showdown
McLaughlin: {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}
Tavelli: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}

The flop was a clean sheet for the at-risk player, coming out {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}. The turn was a different story altogether though. The {A-Diamonds} ripped off the deck, drawing a big cheer from the rail and a pump of the fist from Tavelli. Drawing to just two outs now, the last card in McLaughlin's day was the {6-Spades}, no use whatsoever.

With that, Marc McLaughlin becomes our 30th-place finisher, taking home more than a quarter-million dollars.
