Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Ben White - Eliminated in 2nd Place
Ben White - Eliminated in 2nd Place

Kirk Caldwell had the button and opened to 300,000. Ben White three-bet to 900,000 from the big blind, Caldwell moved all in for effectively 3.5 million, and White called.

Caldwell: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
White: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Caldwell stood up and walked away from the table, his friends screamed from the rail, and the flop fell down {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

"DEUCE!" someone shrieked.

The {j-Clubs} on the turn was an interesting card. It didn't give White the best hand, but it gave him three more outs to a jack, which would counterfeit Caldwell's wired eights.

Only a handful of people were railing, but the yells were deafening when the {8-Spades} spiked on the river. For the first time all evening, Caldwell let out all of his emotion, throwing his hands in the air.

White somberly shook Caldwell's hand, but we're sure he'll be smiling somepoint later tonight when he realizes he's just banked $414,918!
