Connor Hayward Eliminated in 5th Place ($17,699)
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Justin Dreiling raised all in on the button, and when it folded to Connor Hayward in the big blind, he quickly made the call for roughly 1,000,000 to put himself at risk.
Connor Hayward: K♦Q♣
Justin Dreiling: A♠9♣
It was a fair fight, but Hayward would need to improve to stay in the tournament. Unfortunately for him, the board ran out 9♠4♠J♣6♠4♦ and Dreiling's pair of nines were best, sending Hayward out in fifth place.
