Richard Kirsch and A. Nonmyous were involved in back-to-back hands, the first with Kirsch shoving over an open from A. Nonymous, eliciting a fold after a few moments.  The next hand, A. Nonymous would open to 28,000, with Kirsch making the call from the button.  After the 2♦ 9♠ 8♥ flop, it would be A. Nonymous's turn to shove, having Kirsch covered, and putting him in a spot to decide for his tournament life.

Kirsch would take some time, really agonizing about what his action would be, eventually dropping the chips in front for a call.  "Maybe we have the same hand," Kirsch said to his opponent, who let him know that it was unlikely.  A. Nonymous turned over A♦ Q♠, followed by Kirsch tabling J♠ 10♥, drawing very live to a double.  The 5♣ on the turn was no help to Kirsch, but he would make a pair on the river (10♣), which would be good enough to double to 740,000.

Richard Kirsch - 740,000
A. Nonymous - 270,000

Richard Rice would be eliminated a few hands later by Ian O'Hara, who continues to hold the chip lead.
