We missed the hand but Oliver Berens was kind enough to relate his unfortunate hand.
He was all in against Rakusa for a huge 1,600,000 pot with aces into jacks. It would have propelled Berens over 2,000,000 but the jack came on the flop to send the huge double up to Rakusa, the (probably) new chip leader.
Andre Rakusa – 1,600,000 (133 bb)
Oliver Berens – 810,000 (68 bb)

With the board reading 
, Dani Dayan moved all in for 500,000 and Dion Jagroo was contemplating a call. He thought for several minutes and the call would be for a big chunk of his stack.
“Show me if I fold?” Jagroo asked the now standard question.
“No,” Dayan quickly replied.
After another minute, Jagroo mucked pocket tens face up.
“Come on!” Dayan laughed and tossed her cards to Jagroo to table on his own. He flipped up her pocket aces for the tough, but correct, fold. Jagroo was still doing ok with his 1,140,000 among the leaders.
Dani Dayan – 750,000 (75 bb)
Dion Jagroo – 1,140,000 (114 bb)

Action folded to Jonah Miller on the button and he opened to 28,000. Jon Borenstein moved all in from the small blind for 280,000 and Miller called to put the former SHRPO Big 4 final table member at risk.

Borenstein needed to catch with his over card or find some interesting board to stay alive. The 
flop missed his hand followed by the 
turn and 
river to send him out in 64th place.
Tournament staff broke Table 30 and we are down to seven tables.
Jonah Miller – 960,000 (96 bb)
Jon Borenstein – Eliminated
