Hasan Hakim raised from UTG+1 to 1.5 million, Jameel Harris moved all in from the hijack for 7.8 million, and Hakim tanked for a while before he called with KsJc. Harris turned over AdAc, and he needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 4h3s3c6d4s, and the aces held up for Harris to win the pot and double up in chips.

Jameel Harris  –  17,100,000  (29 bb)
Hasan Hakim  –  19,200,000  (32 bb)

The next hand, Phil Hernz moved all in from the button for 4.6 million, and Alejandro Gonzalez called from the small blind with Ah10d.

Hernz turned over Kd8s, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Ad10c3h5hKc, and Gonzalez flopped two pair to win the pot and eliminate Hernz in seventh place.

Alejandro Gonzalez  –  22,500,000  (38 bb)
Phil Hernz  –  Eliminated in 7th Place  ($48,015)
