Antonis Kambouris raised to 8,500 from first position and then John Bampton reraised all in for 27,000 total. Kambouris took only a few seconds to make the call.

Showdown:
Kambouris: {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}
Bampton: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} and Bampton just couldn't find the help he needed to stay alive. Kambouris' nines held true all the way until the end, eliminating Bampton from the event.
