Action was recapped by the table as Two-time RGPS Main Event champion Dakotah O'Dell was seen leaving the tournament.
Dakotah O'Dell raised to 1,200 in early position which saw Kyle Parish defend his big blind.
The flop came out 9♣K♣10♣ and O'Dell continued for 2,000 when checked to, which Parish called.
On the 9♦ turn, O'Dell bet once more when checked too, this time to the size of 7,000 which Parish called.
Parish checked a third time on the 7♦ river and O'Dell moved all in for 17,600 and Parish snap called.
Dakotah O'Dell: A♣9♠
Kyle Parish: Q♣J♣
O'Dell's three nines had no chance of winning the pot on any street as Parish had flopped O'Dell dead to everything but a foul deck. O'Dell wished his opponents luck as he exited the tournament.
