Nick Jivkov opened for 64,000 in early position, and action folded to Jason Seefeld, who three-bet to 160,000 in the small blind. Jivkov pushed all in after thinking for a minute or so, and Seefeld folded to preserve his last 12 big blinds or so.

DJ Buckley survived his all in with a chop.

We thought we finally had some notable action when DJ Buckley shoved the button for 179,000 and was called by Mike Deis in the big blind. Deis had Buckley dominated with {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} against {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, but they chopped when the board ran out {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

Nick Jivkov Eliminated in 9th Place ($9,202); Jason Seefeld Eliminated in 10th Place ($7,361)

Nick Jivkov - Ninth Place
Nick Jivkov - Ninth Place

Nick Jivkov pushed all in under the gun, and action folded to Ryan Jefferson, who shipped over in the cutoff. Jason Seefeld thought for about 30 seconds before pushing his 300,000 stack forward. The blinds got out of the way.

Jivkov: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Jefferson: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Seefeld: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Right after Jason Sell had joked about the slowness of the final table, we had a three-way all in with Jefferson leading the way with aces. His lead only grew on the {5-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop, and only Seefeld had an out after the {10-Clubs} turn. No king materialized on the river, and Jefferson collected two opponents' stacks.

DJ Buckley - Eighth Place
DJ Buckley - Eighth Place

Jun Kim open-shoved the button, and Jason Sell called in the small blind. DJ Buckley called off his 200,000 or so stack in the big.

Kim: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Sell: {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Buckley: {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Kim had both opponents dominated, and only Sell was drawing live after the first four cards came {9-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. Sell's club didn't hit the river, and Buckley exited in eighth since he had the least chips, while Kim tripled up.
