Joel Gola limped from under the gun, Hyndi Khomutetsky completed the small blind, and Nenad Medic checked in the big.

The flop was Qs4s3d and Khomutetsky. Medic moved all in for 2,475,000, Gola called and Khomutetsky folded.

Medic: 6s2s
Gola: AcQd

Gola was ahead with top top and Medic needed to catch a spade or a five for his straight. The Kd turn changed nothing, and Medic was eliminated after the 6h river.

Joel Gola – 18,175,000 (73 bb)
Nenad Medic  –  Eliminated in 7th Place  ($98,000)

Tournament staff paused the clock and the last six players will bag their chips for tomorrow when they play for the title.

Nenad Medic opened to 525,000 from the cutoff and picked up calls from Joel Gola on the button and Chad Evelsage in the big blind.

The flop was 7h4h3c, Eveslage checked, Medic bet 600,000 and Gola raised to 1,800,000. Eveslage got out of the way, Medic moved all in, and Gola called with the smaller stack at risk.

Gola: Ah2h
Medic: QdQc

Medic is ahead with the queens but Gola has flush and straight outs. The 5d turn gives Gola a wheel and the Jh river sends him a huge double.

Joel Gola – 14,950,000 (60 bb)
Nenad Medic – 2,350,000 (9 bb)

Rob Wazwaz open-shipped for 1,875,000 from middle position and it folded around to Kevin Nee on the button. He called and the blinds folded.

Wazwaz: 8h8c

Wazwaz was in a lot of trouble with the smaller pair and nothing on the AhJd4sJs5s board gave him any help.
