Brandon Moran Eliminated in 8th Place ($107,442)

Hand No. 45 -

Brandon Moran has the button in Seat 2. Kido Pham is the first player to fire at the pot, coming in for a min-raise to 80,000. Moran, with his newly acquired chips, thinks for a few seconds before calling from the button. Peter Jetten also calls from the small blind, but the big blind, Michael Mizrachi, throws a wrench in the works by declaring a pot-sized raise to 400,000.

Kido Pham has the first decision after Mizrachi's raise. He tanks for about a minute and then calls. Moran must like his chances against two players, as he quickly moves all in for less than the 400,000 bet, drawing a gasp of surprise from the spectators in the lounge. Jetten is the only one to lay down his hand.
