Matthew Blackwell has been getting his chips in good but failing to hold. A few orbits before he was knocked out, he got his all in against Li Wu's , but Wu came from behind to knock down Blackwell's stack to a mere 120,000. Blackwell tripled up a few hands later when his miraculously held up against two players.
In Blackwell's last hand of the night, Papa Karn opened the pot for 55,000 and Blackwell, next-to-act, moved all-in for 355,000. The action folded to Nic Petree who went into the tank for almost a minute before reshoving for 1,040,000. The action folded back to Karn who asked for the count, but after half a minute decided to let his hand go.
