Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell: 
Chris "rumpthumper" White:

, but that was the closest either player would get to a double as the turn 
and river 
left the pocket queens of "kgkg510" on top to eliminate both players on the same hand in fifth- and fourth places, respectively.

In Level 31 with blinds of 18,000/36,000 and an ante of 4,500, Chris "rumpthumper" White open-jammed for 420,000 in the hijack and received a call from "kgkg510" in the big blind.
Chris "rumpthumper" White:
"kgkg510": 
White was at risk for his tournament life and needed to hit to stay alive. The flop 
gave him two more outs to Broadway, but his number of chances were cut from two to one after the turn missed. Luckily for him, the river saved him, improving him to a pair of queens and earning him the double through the chip leader.
