Javier Zarco Eliminated in 9th Place ($88,817)

Level 39 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Javier Zarco
Javier Zarco

Hand #35: The action started with a raise to 2,300,000 by Kainalu McCue-Unciano and from two seats over, Benjamin Ector announced a three-bet to 6,900,000. Javier Zarco asked for the stack sizes of both players and moved all in for what appeared to be 22 million. McCue-Unciano quickly folded and Ector snap-called.

Javier Zarco: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Benjamin Ector: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop brought no help for the Spaniard and he asked for a six to a potential chop. His wish was declined with the {3-Hearts} turn and the {7-Clubs} river came a blank, too, to send Zarco to the rail in 9th place for $88,817.

Andre Haneberg Eliminated in 8th Place ($114,694)

Level 39 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Andre Haneberg
Andre Haneberg

Hand #41: Andre Haneberg carefully studied the table when sitting in the hijack and announced all in for what appeared to be 19,200,000. Bart Hanson on the button gave it brief consideration and moved all in over the top, which forced out everyone else.

Andre Haneberg: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Bart Hanson: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

The {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop left Haneberg in desperate shape, and he was drawing dead as soon as the {9-Clubs} fell on the turn. This made the {10-Spades} river a formality and Haneberg headed to the payout desk to collect $114,694 for his 8th place finish.
