When the blinds reached 50,000 / 100,000 with a 10,000 ante, UFman2 got smitty2217 out of the game, then UtahTom, Eric Blair, who was eliminated at fourth place when the blinds were at 60,000 / 120,000 with an ante of 15,000, and finally yan09, which left him playing against Antoshka on heads up play.
