We have a new chip leader in the room as Brendan Ruse has eliminated WSOP bracelet winner Jarred Graham in a huge multi-way pot.
The action started with a raise to 3,000 from Sheldon Mayer. Tony Sama then three-bet to 7,700 before Jarred Graham moved all in for his last 21,200. This was when Ruse decided to get involved as he flat called from the big blind. Mayer got out of the way, but Sama thought for a bit before also making the call.
The flop landed and both players checked before Ruse bet 17,500 into the dry side pot on the turn. Sama called and the river was the .
This time Ruse tapped the table and Sama bet out 25,000. Ruse made a pretty quick call and Sama showed for top pair but that was no good as Ruse slammed down onto the felt triumphantly.

Benson raised to 9,500 from the button, leaving himself with just 100 behind. Evan Ryan then moved all in from the big blind and Benson flicked out his single chip.
Michael Adammo has been crushed and is down to just five big blinds.
The action folded to Ronnie Bardah on the button who raised to 2,600. The small blind folded and Adammo three bet from the big blind to 7,400. After tanking for quite a while Bardah stacked his chips up and moved all in for 31,100 and Adammo threw a chip into the middle signifying his call.
