It took some work to get there, but Event 7 hit the money after ten rounds of hand-for-hand action.

On that tenth hand, Mark Wiser was all in for 2,500 in the big blind (plus his 6,000 big blind ante). Mitchell King opened to 15,000 from the hijack and Dani Mae called on the button.

Both live players checked down the board and Mae showed for a pair of kings. King quickly mucked and Wiser showed for second best pair of sevens before leaving his seat on the money bubble.

Dani Mae – 110,000 (22 bb)
Mark Wiser – Eliminated
