Alex Wilson raised to 90,000 from middle position and Nicholas Immekus three-bet to 250,000 on the button. Action folded back to Wilson, who thought for a minute before moving all in for about 880,000. Immekus quickly called.

Wilson let out a groan of disgust as he showed 9h8h. He was in bad shape against Immekus’ KdKh.

The flop was Jd8s3s, giving Wilson a pair of eights and a little bit of hope. The turn was the 5c and the river was the 2d to keep Immekus in the lead and eliminate Wilson in sixth place.

Wilson headed out of the tournament area to collect his $49,300 prize money and Immekus moved up the chip counts.

Nicholas Immekus – 1,800,000 (45 bb)
Alex Wilson – Eliminated
