Upeshka De Silva was seen exiting the tournament area, and according to his table, he got his 23,000,000 chip stack in preflop with ace-king against Jordan Saccucci's pocket kings. The board ran out dry and Saccucci secured the double up.
Shortly after, De Silva got his remaining short stack in with king-nine but ran into king-jack and he was eliminated.
