. Dyment's 
was dominated.

Ilya Dyment hit the rail in 9th place, earning $19,674.
Brittney Barnes opened to 400,000 from middle position and Frank Marasco three-bet to 1,400,000. Barnes called, the dealer fanned out 
on the flop and Barnes tapped the table.
Marasco pushed in 900,000 and Barnes moved all in without hesitation for more than enough to cover her opponent. Marasco took a quick moment to think, ultimately he let his hand go and Barnes pulled in the pot with her check-shove.
David Jackson opened for 350,000, getting action from only Brittney Barnes in the big blind. On the flop of

The river got another check from Barnes and Tang launched a salvo of 1,675,000. She called, only to muck her hands when he showed 
for aces-up.

The flop came 
and the big blind checked, McGuinness fired 750,000, Jackson tossed in a raise, the blind folded, and McGuinness jammed for 6.37 million total. Jackson snap-called and showed his
