Christopher Demaci Eliminated in 6th Place ($131,841)
Christopher Demaci announced all in as he potted to 350,000 on the button. Shawn Rice called in the small blind, while Marco Johnson then repotted to 1,400,000 in the big blind.
Demaci took a few minutes until it was pointed out that action was on him. "I thought I was all in already," Demaci said as he stuck in his last 120,000, while Rice also called.
The flop came 5♦2♦2♠ and Rice moved all in for 1,600,000. Johnson flashed A♥A♦ as he mucked.
Christopher Demaci: K♥K♠J♥5♥3♥
Shawn Rice: A♠7♠6♥5♣2♣
"I'm going to need some help," Demaci said even before the cards were revealed as Rice showed down a flopped full house. The J♣ turn gave Demaci outs to a higher full house, but he missed the 4♦ river and was sent to the rail in sixth place.
Tournament officials gave players the option of continuing or stopping play for the day, and Rice was the lone vote for bagging up for the day.
The remaining five players will return tomorrow at 1 p.m. local time. Stay tuned for chip counts and a recap of the day's action.
