Short-stacked Zeeshan Alam moved all in preflop and was called by James Van Alstyne to put him at risk.

Alam: K♥4♦3♠2♦  
Van Alstyne: 8♣7♣6♠6♥

Alam would need to improve to stay alive, but the runout of 8♠2♥10♠9♣J♥ gave him Van Alstyne a straight to send him out in 9th place as the first casualty at the final table. 

Van Alstyne - 255,000
