Eric Dillon Eliminated in 9th Place ($35,610)
Having been left short following a cooler in the previous hand, Eric Dillon shoved the 6,500,000 he had left from the cutoff. Thai Dinh reshoved from the small blind for 14,500,000, putting Blake Napierala in a huge spot. He asked for a count, played with his chips and counted them out for a while, before eventually putting in the call.
Eric Dillon: 4♠4♣ 
Thai Dinh: 8♥8♦
Blake Napierala: 7♠7♣
It was pocket pair over pocket pair over pocket pair, and that was just the beginning. An eight in the window improved Dinh, but the full 10♦7♦8♠ flop revealed that Dinh had in fact set over set his opponent. It didn't stop there though, as Dillon, too, was offered hope to a one-outer when the 4♥ turn fell, prompting sickened noises from around the table. Dinh managed to avoid running into quads on the 6♣ river, to win a huge pot, and send the Jaka student away in a huge cooler, as well as diminishing Napierala's stack.
