After the elimination of Shon Perez in 10th place, it was time to redraw for random seats at the final table, but there was a hand already in progress at the other table.

Scott Epstein was all in from the cutoff for 1,125,000 with Kh10h, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the JsJh of Kelly Black in the small blind.

The board came Ac10d5d6h4h, and Epstein paired his ten on the flop, but improved no further. Black won the pot with his pocket jacks to eliminate Epstein in ninth place.

Kelly Black  –  8,600,000  (69 bb)
