With the final board showing 9c6h5h2d6s on the river and more than 1.3 million already in the pot, Andrew Moreno moved all in from the big blind for 2,440,000.

Tim Capretta (UTG) went into the tank for a very long time, eventually asking for an exact count of Moreno’s stack before returning to the tank to think.

Eventually, Capretta folded, and Moreno showed one card — the 7h — as he took the pot.

Andrew Moreno  –  3,790,000  (76 bb)
Tim Capretta  –  3,175,000  (64 bb)

Meanwhile, at the Live-Stream table, Joe McKeehen, who had the shortest chip stack at the break, was eliminated in 18th place.

18th:  Joe McKeehen  –  $44,685

With 17 players remaining from a field of 1,110, the average chip stack is around 2,610,000 (52 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $44,685 each.

Action will continue today until there are seven players remaining for tomorrow afternoon’s live-streamed final table, scheduled to begin at 1:00 pm.
