David Jackson raised from the cutoff to 120,000, Eddie Pak reraised from the button to 300,000, and Jackson called.

The flop came AcJd10c, Jackson checked, Pak bet 150,000, and Jackson called.

The turn card was the 7c, and both players checked.

The river card was the 8d, and Jackson used a Time Chip to tank for a while before he bet 850,000. Pak quickly called, and Jackson showed Kd10d for a pair of tens. But Pak turned over KcQh for a flopped ace-high straight to win the pot worth 2,750,000.

Eddie Pak  –  3,830,000  (64 bb)
David Jackson  –  4,300,000  (72 bb)

With 11 players remaining from a field of 673, the average chip stack is around 3,060,000 (51 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $46,000 each.

They will play as many 90-minute levels as it takes to reach the final nine players for tomorrow’s final table.
