Jeremy Becker used a Time Chip to tank for nearly a minute before he raised to 200,000, leaving himself a single 25K chip behind.

Naing Thu reraised from the big blind, and Becker called all in for 225,000 with Qc8c. Thu turned over 4d4c, and Becker needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 7d4s3h8dAs, and Thu clinched the pot on the turn with a flopped set of fours to eliminate Becker in 10th place.

Naing Thu  –  4,350,000  (58 bb)
Jeremy Becker  –  Eliminated in 10th Place  ($63,000)

With nine players remaining from a field of 865, the average chip stack is around 4,800,000 (64 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $63,000 each.
