On the third hand of the final table, Ike Nlemchi open-jammed UTG for 550,000 and Brant Jolly called in the hijack to put Nlemchi at risk.

Nlemchi: 8♠8♣  
Jolly: A♥A♣  
Board: T♦7♦2♦5♦J♥

Nlemchi, who came into the final table as the short stack, went unimproved on the runout and was eliminated in 9th place for $10,020.

8 players remain.
