Action folded around to the blinds, where John Andress moved all in for 400,000 in the small and Alex Papazian called to put him at risk in the big.

Andress: Ad9c
Papazian: QsTc

The board ran out 5h3h2dJh7c, and Andress doubled up with ace-high. Papazian was left with 280,000 chips.

The next hand, Mike Leah opened the cutoff to what looked like 75,000, and Papazian three-bet shoved for 275,000 in the small blind. Leah called.

Leah: Ad9d
Papazian: AsTc

The Qd4c3c flop was clean for Papazian, but the 9s on the turn pulled Leah into the lead with one to come. The river was the 8c, and Papazian was sent to the cashier in 11th place.

“Sorry, Alex,” Leah apologized, walking around the table to shake his opponent’s hand. “Always fun playing with you.”

Mike Leah – 2,400,000 (80 bb)
Alex Papazian – Eliminated
