Luis Velador: A♣K♠10♣5♠
Sean Troha: A♦J♥9♣2♦
The 8♠ turn and 7♥ river failed to improve Velador and he was eliminated in eighth place.

The flop was K♦7♥7♦. Thibodaux moved all-in for 850,000 and Brown snap-called.
Joshua Thibodaux: A♠A♦10♦2♦
Tyler Brown: A♥A♣10♠7♠
It was an aces against aces confrontation, but Brown had made trip sevens on the flop. Thibodaux was drawing to running low cards or queen-jack for half or a diamond for the scoop but the 2♣J♥ runout secured his elimination in ninth place.

The turn brought the 2♦. Troha decided to lead pot for 630,000 effective which sent Dzivielevski into the tank for over six minutes. He eventually called and the cards hit their backs.
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♦8♠5♥5♣
Sean Troha: A♣Q♠3♠2♥
The river was the 9♣ and the pot was chopped. The pair of eights was good for the high for Dzivielevski and Troha had the low with ace-three.
