Darren Elias and Drake Kemper Eliminated in 9th and 8th Place ($24,150)
While playing hand-for-hand on the pay jump, there was an all-in at each table. Darren Elias opened to 80,000 on the button and Michael Berk three-bet to 200,000 in the small blind. Elias four-bet jammed all in for around 500,000 and Berk called.
Darren Elias: 10♥10♣
Michael Berk: J♥J♦
The board ran out Q♠5♥3♦9♦7♠ and Elias was eliminated.
At the other table, the action folded to Drake Kemper in the small blind who ripped all in for just over 1,000,000. Landon Tice snapped him off in the big blind and the cards were tabled.
Drake Kemper: A♥9♦
Landon Tice: A♦Q♠
The flop came 9♣6♠2♠ and Kemper took the lead with a pair of nines. The 4♦ bricked out on the turn but the Q♣ gave Tice the win and eliminated Kemper. Both Elias and Kemper were eliminated on the same hand so they chopped the two payouts.
