In the hand after Hye Park was eliminated, Marco Johnson raised to 84,000 on the button without a small blind in play. Steve Billirakis three-bet to 252,000 from the big blind and Johnson called after two minutes.
The flop was 10♦2♠2♣ and Billirakis continued for 127,000. Johnson then raised the pot. Billirakis, visibly a little unpleased, called the all-in for around 600,000 total.
Steve Billirakis: A♣A♠Q♠5♠
Marco Johnson: A♥9♦8♣2♥
Johnson had hit trips on the flop and Billirakis found himself in a deep hole. Neither the 10♣ turn nor 7♦ river turned it around for the man who briefly was the youngest bracelet winner ever back in 2007.
With his elimination, the unofficial final table has been set.
