John Krpan opened to 225,000 from under the gun with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Chance Kornuth called directly to his left with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

Sean Winter
Sean Winter

Outer Table:

Christopher Kruk raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and Sean Winter called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Winter checked to Kruk who continued for 100,000. Winter check-raised to 325,000 and Kruk shoved all in. Winter called off his last 1,600,000 and the cards were tabled.

Kruk tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Winter reluctantly turned over {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the river brought the {10-Spades}, giving Kruk a full house and eliminating Winter. That means the final nine players will now redraw for seats at the unofficial final table. PokerNews will continue their coverage from the live stream on a 30-minute delay.
