On the very next hand after Jason Sagle was eliminated, Luke Graham open-shipped for 1,075,000 from the cutoff and it folded to Rayan Chamas in the big blind. He thought for a bit and called to put Graham at risk.

Graham:
Chamas:

Graham was ahead for a double and paired his five on the flop. Chamas jumped into the lead when he paired his nine on the turn and held on the river.

Graham was eliminated in seventh place and the clock was paused. The six remaining players will bag their chips and return for the live-streamed final table tomorrow at 2 pm.

It folded to Jason Sagle in the hijack and he moved all in for 1,575,000. Istvan Briski called on the button and the blinds folded.

Briski:
Sagle:

Sagle was in a lot of trouble with his smaller ace and it got a lot worse on the flop when Briski paired his jack. He picked up a spade draw on the turn but blanked the river to go out in eighth place.

Istvan Briski – 24,000,000 (220 bb)
