With about 100,000 chips in the middle and the board reading {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Sam Taylor was in the big blind and facing a decision for the remainder of his approximately 150,000-chip stack from Chi Chan, who was in the hijack. Taylor went into the tank for several minutes until tournament staff arrived at the table and gave him half a minute to act. As the final seconds ticked down, Taylor moved some T-1,000 chips forward to call and put himself at risk.

Once the cards were turned over, it was Chan who had the winner with {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for aces full of threes. Taylor showed {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for trip aces and Chan took the pot to eliminate Taylor, bringing the 2018 Main Event to the stone bubble.

The tournament went on break immediately following the conclusion of the hand to the obvious displeasure of the remaining players. The Amazon room was filled with the sound of booing as they began to file out of the exits. The light blue T-500 chips were colored up during the break to make the bagging process quicker.
