Level 27: Blinds 25k/50k/5k ante (22:35 remaining)
Mohammed Jaafar was living a risky life after the dinner break. He was the only one who voted to take the break and he was getting active afterwards.
Shortly after he doubled through Jeff Chang, he gave up most of his stack to Chris Bolek without a show down. Jaafar led out for 220,000 with the board reading 
before Bolek moved all-in.
Jaafar eventually folded his hand face up and the rest of the table was surprised to see 
go into the muck.
He moved all-in an orbit later for 360,000 and Sean Winter quickly called. Short stacked Steven McKoy considered coming along but let it go. Winter was ahead with 
versus 
and Jaafar lost one of his live cards after the 
flop.
The left him with three outs and Jaafar blanked the river to go out in 7th place for $73,000.
The live-streamed final table is now set and will kick off on Wednesday at 1pm.
Chip counts coming shortly.
