Ted McNamara opened to 250,000 from under the gun and John McDonald three-bet to 1,800,000 from next to act, leaving only 125K behind. It folded back to McNamara, he put in a big stack and started to table his hand, thinking McDonald moved all in.

After counting down the action, McNamara did not put enough in for a raise and they saw a flop of 8d4c2s.

McNamara bet enough this time and McDonald called at risk.

McNamara: AsAd
McDonald: KcJc

McDonald ran into a monster but added a club draw on the 7c turn. The 4s river was a blank and McDonald was eliminated in tenth place.

Tournament staff paused the clock and they are redrawing seats at the nine-handed final table. They will continue until they reach six players for the official WPT final table.

Ted McNamara – 6,600,000 (53 bb)
John McDonald – Eliminated in 10th Place ($60,000)
