After the elimination of Ofer Peleg in 28th place, the tournament clock is paused so the remaining players can redraw for random seats at the final three tables. But there was a big hand already in progress.

Tom Boivin raised from middle position to 55,000, Shea Smith moved all in from the small blind for 265,000, and Boivin called with KsQh.

Smith turned over 8s8d, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Qs10h10c7dQc — Boivin paired his queen on the flop and rivered queens full of tens to win the pot and eliminate Smith in 27th place.

Tom Boivin  –  1,950,000  (78 bb)
Shea Smith  –  Eliminated in 27th Place  ($21,695)

Once all hands in progress are completed, the remaining 26 players redraw for random seats at the final three tables. The new seat draw will be posted with updated chip counts at the next break, which is coming soon.
