Hand 83: Josh Clanton limped in from under the gun, as did Chris Solomon from the small blind. Jermel Stephens was in the big blind and checked his option.

The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Solomon checked. Stephens bet 200,000 and Clanton instantly moved all in for 418,000. Solomon folded and Stephens called.

Stephens tabled {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for top pair and Clanton tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a set of jacks.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and Clanton celebrated as Stephens was drawing dead to the {10-Spades} on the river. Clanton doubled through, leaving Stephens with less than three big blinds.

Hand 84: Chris Solomon limped in on the button, and Jermel Stephens went all in for 52,000. Josh Clanton called from the big blind, as did Solomon. The flop came {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked to the turn, which was he {6-Spades}. Solomon led out for 100,000 and Clanton folded.

Stephens was drawing dead with {q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} as Solomon tabled {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for a straight. The river was the {a-Spades} and Stephens was eliminated.

All remaining players are guaranteed a payout of $29,372.
