David Salituro

Level 39 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

John Wasnock raised to 3,200,000 under the gun and Luka Bojovic called in middle position. Joey Padron then moved all in for 12,600,000 on the button and both Wasnock and Bojovic called.

Wasnock and Bojovic checked down the J♥5♥5♣9♠J♠ board. Padron could only show A♣6♦ for the two pair on the board with ace-kicker, while Bojovic had A♥K♦. Wasnock, though, turned over 8♠8♥ for jacks and eights to win the pot and send Padron out on the final table bubble.

The other nine players erupted in celebration amid high-fives and hugs as they will return for the official final table on Tuesday, July 15.

John Wasnock: A♠Q♣

Wasnock held a huge lead with a pair of queens but Ozimok's hopes stayed alive with the 10♦ on the turn. However, the 3♠ bricked out on the river and Ozimok bowed out in 12th place.
