Juan Maceiras Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,125,000)
Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Hand #45: Juan Maceiras open-jammed a stack of 17,500,000 from middle position and Toby Lewis called in the big blind.
Juan Maceiras: K♥9♣
Toby Lewis: A♦10♥
Maceiras needed to hit a king or a nine to keep his Main Event dreams alive and couldn't do so on the flop of 2♠A♠J♠ that had him drawing thin as Lewis paired his ace. The 4♣ turn had Maceiras drawing dead ahead of the K♣ river and the Day 7 chip leader was eliminated in eighth place for $1,125,000.
