William Anderson came into the final table as the second shortest stack. With the two chip leaders positioned to his right and less than ten big blinds his decisions were pretty straightforward.

On the third hand, Anderson had a clear open-shove from UTG+1 with 765,000. Rahil Gaulani jammed over the top from the cutoff. Action folded out behind.

Gaulani: K♦K♣ 
Anderson: 8♥8♠
Board: 6♣5♠5♥7♥A♠

Anderson was in rough shape with his eights but he turned life with the 7♥. The river bricked out for Anderson and he was eliminated in eighth place for $2,740. 

Gaulani: 1,970,000
Anderson: 8th - $2,740
