Matthew Vaughan Eliminated in 18th Place ($6,839)
While the other tables were already waiting on the redraw to two tables, the first and only hand played on the outer table took the better part of ten minutes and ultimately resulted in the bustout of Matthew Vaughan.
It was Rigoberto Rodriguez who opened with a raise to 950,000 in the cutoff, Matthew Vaughan called on the button, and Zyad Qasem called from the big blind. The flop was 
and Qasem and Rodriguez checked to Vaughan, who bet 950,000. Qasem check-raised to 2,500,000, Rodriguez folded, and Vaughan called after some thought.
On the 
turn, Qasem shoved all in, putting Vaughan to the test for his final 4 million in chips. Vaughan spent minutes in the tank before the clock was called on him. The seconds were ticking away as Vaughan was mulling over his decision.
With one second left on the clock, he decided to call it all off but instantly received the bad news.
Matthew Vaughan: 
Zyad Qasem: 
Vaughan did have some outs but the 
river wasn't one of them, ending his deep run early on Day 3.
