Thad McNulty shoved all in from the hijack and Mitch Smith called on the button.

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.
