Thad McNulty shoved all in from the hijack and Mitch Smith called on the button.
Mitch Smith: 
Thad McNulty: 
Smith flopped top pair, top kicker on 
but acutally found himself picking up one more out to sweat. The turn 
was safe, but the river 
spelled disaster for Smith. Stacks were then counted and Smith's was totaled to be 875,000 while McNulty had 1 million exactly.
With Smith's elimination, the final table of eight has been set. Players are in the process of putting chips into racks and moving to the featured table, which will be live streamed with a 30-minute delay on bestbet Jacksonville's Twitch Page.
In the meantime, the tournament clock has been paused with 11:50 remaining in Level 24. An updated seat draw and list of chip counts will be provided as soon as things get settled.

A pile of chips was already in the middle on a board of 
and action was on Luan Nguyen in the cutoff. Nguyen was heads up against Chris Perry in the big blind, and Perry had check-raised to 200,000 over a bet of 85,000 from Nguyen. Nguyen called.
The river was and Perry cut out another 350,000. Close to five minutes went by before a decision was made.
"Okay, take it!" said Nguyen as he threw in chips to call.
Perry showed the flopped straight of 
and Nguyen acknowledged the straight, immediately thereafter acknowledging that he had flopped it.
