Jordan Griff opened to 3,200,000 on the button and Malcolm Franchi three-bet jammed for 34,700,000 in the big blind. Griff called with a bigger stack.
Malcolm Franchi: A♠Q♥ 
Jordan Griff: A♦K♣
Franchi was dominated and couldn't get any help as the board ran out 8♣4♦9♣7♣9♦ to mark his elimination in 11th place for $800,000.
The 10 remaining players have been sent on a 15-minute break before they converge on one table.

The ten remaining players have found their seats on the table and cards are back in the air for Day 8 of the WSOP Main Event.
In the first hand of the unofficial final table, Andres Gonzalez pushed all in for 14,300,000 and collected the blinds and big blind ante to boost his second-shortest stack among the final ten contenders.
On the next hand, Malo Latinois shoved from the small blind and Diogo Coelho gave up his big blind.
Joe Serock raised to 3,200,000 in early position and Jason Sagle called in the hijack. The flop was spread 2♦10♣3♣ and Serock checked. Sagle bet 4,000,000 and received a quick fold from his opponent.
The next hand, Sagle opened for 3,200,000 in middle position and Niklas Astedt defended his big blind. Both players checked the K♥2♥7♠ flop before Sagle bet 4,000,000 on the 10♦ turn.
Astedt check-called and checked again on the A♠ river. Sagle checked behind and Astedt showed A♥10♥. Sagle mucked A♦9♦ and Astedt took the pot.
Jordan Griff min-raised to 3,200,000 from under the gun and was called by both Niklas Astedt and Joe Serock in the blinds. The 9♠6♣5♥ flop saw Astedt lead for 3,500,000 and Serock called, as did Griff.
The trio headed to the Q♦ turn and Astedt slowed down and checked. Serock bet 11,000,000 and Griff called while Astedt got out of the way.
That led them to the 5♣ on the river where Serock glanced at his table neighbor before he bet 35,000,000.
Griff moved all in after some consideration and Serock was instantly stunned, shook his head and asked for the exact amount of the shove. The all-in was for 61,000,000 and Serock folded to get shown the 5♠5♦ for quads by Griff.
"I had eight-seven," Serock said, indicating he folded a flopped straight.
Andres Gonzalez jammed all in for 15,100,000 in the small blind. Jason Sagle sat in the big blind and asked for a count.
Ultimately, he opted to fold as Gonzalez stayed alive in the Main Event.
Diogo Coelho raised to 6,800,000 from under the gun for most of his stack. Niklas Astedt called from early position and the rest of the table got out of the way.
The K♠Q♦6♥ flop was checked by Coelho and Astedt bet enough to put him all in. Coelho ended up putting in his last 4,900,000.
Diogo Coelho: A♣J♠
Niklas Astedt: A♦K♥
Astedt showed top pair and Coelho needed running cards or a ten to avoid elimination, but the Q♥ turn and 8♥ river ended his run in tenth place for $800,000. The final nine players will now be bagging their chips before taking on all picture and interview duties.
