Steven McKoy raised to 21,000 from early position, Nicholas Davidson called on the hijack, and Bobby Buckingham moved all-in for 98,000 from the small blind. McKoy got out of the way, and Davidson called. The two remaining players then tabled their cards.

Buckingham was eliminated on the hand, while  Davidson stacked up 360,000 after the hand. At the same time at another table Wantman saw his pocket tens run into the pocket kings to end his tournament run, so the two players split prize money of $2,975 on the money bubble.

Nicholas Davidson – 360,000 (36 bb)
Matt Wantman – Eliminated in 146th Place ($2,975)
