With nine players remaining, combining to a final table at eight, and only the final seven players getting paid, the action has slowed to a crawl.

While both tables were playing roughly the same number of hands, they were both stalling to the point that the players requested hand-for-hand play. After the stalling continued for a while, hand-for-hand play began, and the pace picked up.

Eventually, Alex Foxen moved all in from the cutoff for 145,000, and Ilyas Muradi called from the big blind with 9h9c.

Foxen turned over JsJc, and he needed his jacks to hold to stay alive.

The board came 9s7c2h2d7h, and Muradi flopped a set of nines and turned a full house to win the pot and eliminate Foxen in ninth place.

Ilyas Muradi  –  455,000  (30 bb)
Alex Foxen  –  Eliminated

With eight players remaining from a field of 42, the average chip stack is about 655,000 (44 big blinds). Action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 15, around 2:40 am.
