Ian Williams

Billy Pappas got it all in from the big blind for 460,000 with QsQh, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against the 9h9c of Nadeem Hirani in the hijack.

The board came Ac4c4sQd3h, and Pappas turned an unnecessary full house to win the pot and double up in chips.

Billy Pappas  –  950,000  (48 bb)
Nadeem Hirani  –  580,000  (29 bb)

A short while later, Ian Williams moved all in from the cutoff for 495,000, and Joseph Walters called from the small blind with 10s10c.

Williams turned over 4s4c, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 6s5h2h8s9d — Williams flopped a gutshot straight draw and turned a double-gutshot, but he missed all of his outs on the river. The pocket tens held up for Walters to win the pot and eliminate Williams in sixth place.

Joseph Walters  –  1,950,000  (78 bb)
Ian Williams  –  Eliminated in 6th Place  ($12,850)
