Players in Flight F were able to play down to 8 players pretty quickly but losing the last player of the night took nearly 3 full 40-minute levels of play. Devany finally ended the day for the flight.

Brian Devany opened UTG+1 to 45,000. Action folded around into Haris Sayani's small blind and Sayani went all in for 117,000. Devany made the call and each player wished each other luck on the runout.

Devany: A♥2♥
Sayani: K♣Q♣
Runout: 9♠7♣4♣6♥5♦

The flop was favorable for Sayani as he still had his two live pair draws but he also picked up a flush draw. However, Sayani went unimproved on turn and river. Devany finally burst the bubble with a single high card.

Sayani was out in 8th place for $960. All remaining players move on to Sunday's Day 2 restart. The players that bagged also have a chance to win an additional $5,000 by bagging at TCH Las Collinas. Players take their best bags forward.
