Brandon Lombardo opened the action with a raise to 200,000 in early position and received a call from Sara Stohler in the hijack. Andrew Rodgers squeezed, three-bet jamming all in for 635,000 on the button and action folded back to Lombardo, who re-shoved. Stohler quickly let her hand go.

Andrew Rodgers: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Brandon Lombardo: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Rodgers was in need of help and found it on the flop {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for him, it would not be enough as the turn {k-Diamonds} put Lombardo back on top. Rodgers was unable to find the case nine on the river {a-Clubs} and was eliminated in eighth place as a result, becoming the first elimination on the Final Table to earn $17,429.

Landon Tice opened to 250,000 in the hijack and was three-bet to 650,000 by Abraham Hichman, who was on the button. Tice called, bringing a flop of {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

Hichman showed {q-Spades}{10-Spades} and Landon quickly tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} to earn him the pot.

Moments later, Tice was seen betting 1.8 million on the turn into Jesse Vilchez on a board reading {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} with a pile of chips already in the middle. Vilchez folded and Tice further increased his stack to more than 9 million as a result.
