Jaxon Byrne Eliminated in 6th Place ($29,140 AUD)
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Van Marcus opened to 450,000 from the hijack and it was folded to Jaxon Byrne, who shoved for just over 4,000,000 from the small blind. Marcus asked for a count and then said, "Alright, I call."
Jaxon Byrne: 5♥5♠
Van Marcus: 9♦9♠
It was the right call from Marcus, as he had Byrne's pocket fives crushed.
"Hold it!" Marcus said as the dealer dealt out A♥A♦10♦10♣6♦ — counterfeiting both players' pairs but still leaving Marcus best with his nine to eliminate Byrne in sixth place.
