Narcis Nedelcu opened to 1,100,000 in the hijack, in what was the third hand in a row he had opened the betting. Michael Prendergast called in the big blind, and the two headed to a flop.

The dealer provided the A9J flop, and Prendergast continued with a check-call, when Nedelcu bet 1,000,000.

Prendergast checked for a second time on the 2 turn, but Nedelcu wasn't slowing down. He put a bet of 3,500,000 into the middle.

After the use of one time extension, Prendergst responded with pure aggression, moving all in for roughly 7,500,000. Nedelcu snap-called.

Michael Prendergast: J10 All in
Narcis Nedelcu: AJ

It was terrible news for Prendergast, who was drawing dead.

Once the 2 completed the board, he was officially eliminated.
