With the board showing 10h9s6h4s on the turn, Ilyas Muradi got it all in from the big blind for about 400,000 with Ah9h — a pair of nines with a heart flush draw.

But Muradi would need to improve to stay alive against the AsAd of Chris Brewer, who was UTG+1.

The river card was the 7c, and the pocket aces held up for Brewer to win the pot and eliminate Muradi in seventh place.

A floorperson told Muradi that he would take him over to the payout table to get paid, and that’s when Sean Winter — who scored the knockout on the Money Bubble — asked, “Are we in the money?”

The remaining six players are, of course, in the money, guaranteed at least $112,035 each. The average chip stack is about 875,000 (58 big blinds), and there are less than five minutes remaining before play ends for the night.
