Before the tables even have an opportunity to merge mbendner opens the action for a raise from early position.

The action folds around to the chipleader botpot who reraises to ~100 000. Mbendner quickly moves all in for just over 300 000 and botpot makes the call.

mbendner is in great shape with his AK off against botpot's AQ of diamonds...until the flop.

The flop comes a crushing 2d 4d Td and botpot flops the nuts while mbendner is drawing dead, and eliminated in 9th taking home a prize of $1500.

Botpot is up to 1.5 million chips, second is farish at 840 000 and harli is 7th with 330k.
