Short stack Josef Snejberg raised UTG+1 to 55,000, leaving himself a single 5K chip behind, and Aaron Gao called from the cutoff.

Both players checked to the river on a board of Qc4s3d2c9h. Snejberg showed KsJs for king high, but Gao turned over Ac7c to win the pot with ace high.

Aaron Gao  –  1,185,000  (59 bb)
Josef Snejberg  –  5,000  (<1 bb)

The next hand, Snejberg moved all in under the gun for 5,000, Ira Friedman completed the small blind to 20,000, and Rick Mechammil raised from the big blind to 70,000. Friedman folded.

Snejberg turned over 5c3d, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Mechammil’s Kc6s.

The board came 6d5h4d8sJc, and Snejberg flopped a pair and a straight draw, but improved no further. Mechammil flopped a higher pair of sixes to win the pot and eliminate Snejberg in ninth place.

Rick Mechammil  –  1,060,000  (53 bb)
Josef Snejberg  –  Eliminated in 9th Place  ($8,800)

With eight players remaining from a field of 190, the average chip stack is around 595,000 (30 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $11,200 each.
