Short-stacked Blair Hinkle open-shoved under-the-gun and action folded around to Jesse Jones in the small blind who made the call to put him at risk.

Blair Hinkle: KQ
Jesse Jones: AJ

Hinkle would need some help to stay alive, but the runout was not his friend as it came J4698 for Jones to win with his pair of jacks, sending Hinkle to the rail in 6th place.

Shane Fuller

On a heads-up turn of JAQ8, Eddie Northcraft led out for 275,000 but then Shane Fuller moved all in for 860,000 total.

"Ughhh... please don't have king-ten... ok, I call," Northcraft announced as he set out chips to put Fuller at risk.

Shane Fuller: A10
Eddie Northcraft: 910

Fuller was not happy about being in bad shape as he was drawing only to a king, but the river 2 did not provide and he was sent to the payout desk in 7th place.
