As the river cards hit the felt, Matakis scooped both boards with sixes full of nines on the bottom board and two pair nines and sevens on the top to send Otto to the payout cage to collect $11,878 for his 19th place finish in the tournament.

Yang Wang led out for 250,000 on the flop and only Tyler Levin called on the button.

Jacob Wilson

Level 24 : Blinds 0/0, 40,000 ante

9♣6♠9♦J♣8♦
7♦7♣A♥4♦5♦

On the flop, Tyler Levin bet 85,000 into a pot of 240,000, and received both Samuel Stranak and Robert Klein as customers. He then potted on the flop, and Stranak placed in yet another call. Klein decided that this was his final street, and mucked his cards.

On the river, Levin checked his action over to Stranak, and this time it was Stranak's turn to pot it, putting Levin all in and at risk. Levin took his sweet time before flicking in a call, only to see the bad news. Levin's A♦K♥9♥8♠ had been outdone, as the Q♥9♠7♠J♦ of Stranak had a better full house on the top board, as well as trip sevens on the bottom.
