Level 27 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 1,651
Players Remaining: 16

Almost immediately after Michael Hollenberg's elimination in 18th place, there is another Big Stax casualty to report. 

The action was again picked up at Table 58 with Michael Menzer making a pre-flop raise to 125,000.

The action folded to Kevin Lutz who moved all-in for just under 700,000. 

Joshua Hertz, in the small blind, flatted the bet, putting the action back on a now alert Menzer. 

After a moment of thought and a stare down, Menzer folded. 

He was thankful when he saw Hertz turn over the goods, holding A♣A♠. 

Lutz held pocket 10's. 

The board ran out K♣5♣Q♣9♣10♠, giving Hertz the nut flush, and Lutz a needle on the way out as he hit his set on the river, which was a little too late. 

Kevin is eliminated in 17th place, good for just over $3,500.
