Rafael Mota Eliminated in 7th Place ($64,443)

Rafael Mota has been eliminated in seventh place during the following hand:

The action was preflop when it folded to Mota on the button, and he glanced down to see a monster hand and moved all in for his last 1,955,000. The small blind folded, and Benjamin Williams woke up with a hand in the big blind and called with the superior stack.

Rafael Mota: A♦K♠ All in
Benjamin Williams: J♦J♠

The board ran out with 10♥8♥6♥7♣4♠, and Williams' pair held against the big slick of Mota.

Adding a touch of heartbreak to the moment, the Brazilian flag had just made its way to the rail, and Mota’s supporters were only beginning to rally behind him. But their chants will have to wait for another day, as Mota exits with a well-earned deep run.
