During the last orbit, Jason DeWitt moved all in twice, once from the small blind and once from the big blind, but failed to find a caller, while Jeff Williams collected some chips with the same move against Sam Trickett. Williams limped his small blind before Trickett raised another 125,000 from the big blind. Williams shoved and Tricket gave it up.

Trickett - 5.6 million
DeWitt - 1.35 million
