3:30pm: Greenwood and Tollerene chop it up
Level 16: 10,000/20,000 (3,000)

Sam Greenwood moved all in for 388,000 from under the gun before Ben Tollerene on the button asked for a count. Tollerene moved all in over the top for 1,400,000 and with the rest of the table out of the way the two revealed their hands.

Greenwood: [ad][qh]
Tollerene: [as][qc]

With the same hand it was likely they were chopping but the [2h][td][5h] brought a backdoor flush draw for Greenwood. The [ah] turn meant he was freerolling and could spike another heart to scoop the pot. While it was a red [2d] river the flush draw bricked off and and players split the pot.

3:20pm: Fedor Holz eliminated in 6th place
Level 16: 10,000/20,000 (3,000)

Connor Drinan just got back the chips he recently lost after eliminating Fedor Holz.

Drinan moved all in from the cutoff for 468,000 and after throwing in a time-breaker chip for an extra minute to think, Holz committed his last 172,000 from the button. The blinds threw their hands away and the two active players tabled their hands.

Holz: [kh][qs]
Drinan: [4s][4h]

They were flipping but Holz couldn't improve on the [6h][2h][5d][as][9s] run out. Holz pockets $281,260 for almost a full refund on the three bullets he fired to play the event.

Drinan moves back up to 688,000 in chips.

3:00pm: Quoss doubles through Drinan
Level 16: 10,000/20,000 (3,000)

It's only the first hand of the day and already two players have moved all of the money in.

Connor Drinan opened the action to 40,000 from the hijack and it folded to Quoss in the big blind. He bumped it up to 110,000 and Drinan moved all in over the top for 900,000. Quoss called off for his last 475,000 and the cards went on their backs.

Quoss: [ac][ad]
Drinan: [as][kd]

Quoss was in good shape and would hold through the [2d][7c][2c][3h][qh] runout.

He climbs to 984,000 in chips while Drinan drops down to 465,000.

2:30pm: Cards in the air!
Level 16: 10,000/20,000 (3,000)

It's finally here. The $100,000 Challenge final table has been set for four days and now it's finally time to play down to a champion. Our remaining six will be playing for the $1,446,480 top prize.

4) Sam Greenwood - 458,000
5) Fabian Quoss - 478,000
6) Ben Tollerene - 1,522,000
