The action folds around to Ping Liu on the button and for the second time in two hands he open shoves for around 2,000,000. Wittmeyer folds quickly from the small blind but Matt Affleck goes into the tank. After 30 seconds, during which he checks his hole cards three times, measures up his opponents' stacks, and studies Liu, Affleck calls.

Ping Liu -   
Matt Affleck -   

It's not quite a classic flip, but the outcome is every bit as uncertain. The flop comes    , no help to Affleck except for a possible backdoor straight draw. The   turn makes that backdoor straight a possibility and Affleck now needs any king, queen, jack, or seven to stay alive.

The river is the  , as blank as it gets for Affleck, and he finishes in 6th place for $31,079.

Ping Liu - 2,590,000
Matt Affleck - Eliminated
