Manelic Minaya Eliminated in 4th Place ($134,075)
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Paul Runge opened from under the gun to 1,100,000 and Manelic Minaya called from the big blind.
On the flop of K?4?7?, Minaya checked, Runge bet 1,000,000, Minaya shoved for 4,500,000, and Runge snap-called,
Manelic Minaya: K?8? 
Paul Runge: K?K?
Runge had flopped top set which crushed the top pair of Minaya, whose only hope was his backdoor draws. Minaya did hit the perfect turn card as the 6? improved him to both straight and flush draws, which gave him the chance he needed to survive. Unfortunately for Minaya, the 2? river was a brick meaning he was eliminated in fourth.
