Dylan Drazen wasted no time getting his chips in the middle after the break. He open-shoved from the button for his last 795,000 on the first hand back.

Joshua Gibson moved all-in over the top from the small blind to get a fold from David Prociak and they were heads up. Drazen needed help with AsJc against AdQs but the QhJh3s was not kind. The dealer finished with the Kc turn and Qc river to send Drazen out in 9th place. It was a valiant effort from the tiny stack to ladder up a spot.

Jessica Dawley Tank-Folds
Jessica Dawley (center) tank-folds after David Prociak (bottom left) moved all in over the top of Dylan Drazen (bottom right). Every other player at the table got up out of their seats while Dawley was in the tank.

The next hand after Matt Stout’s elimination, there is no small blind. Jessica Dawley raised from middle position to 140,000, Dylan Drazen called all in from the cutoff for 70,000, and David Prociak moved all in from the big blind for more than 4 million.

Dawley went into the tank, and she warned her fellow players that this would be a long one. Every player that wasn’t in the hand got up out of their seats and gathered in a loose group away from the table (visible in the photo above).

Dawley tanked for several minutes before she finally said that she only had 140,000 invested, and she folded.

Drazen turned over Ad2s, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Prociak’s AsJh.

The board came 10c6h3d2h3c, and Drazen paired his deuce on the turn to win the pot and triple up in chips.

Dylan Drazen  –  330,000  (6 bb)
