Mike McClain raises to 25,000 and Joe Elpayaa, who was moved from the other table following Brandon Wong’s elimination, reraises to 66,000 out of the big blind. 

McClain takes a minute, then moves all-in for around 350,000 total. Elpayaa quickly calls with [AcAs] and McClain trails with [AhQs].

The [Kd9d8s] keeps Elpayaa out front and the [9s] on the turn leaves McClain drawing dead. The river brings the [Js] and McClain is eliminated.

Joe Elpayaa – 1,400,000 (117 BBs)
