Short-stacked Blair Hinkle open-shoved under-the-gun and action folded around to Jesse Jones in the small blind who made the call to put him at risk.
Blair Hinkle: K?Q?
Jesse Jones: A?J?
Hinkle would need some help to stay alive, but the runout was not his friend as it came J?4?6?9?8? for Jones to win with his pair of jacks, sending Hinkle to the rail in 6th place.

On a heads-up turn of J?A?Q?8?, Eddie Northcraft led out for 275,000 but then Shane Fuller moved all in for 860,000 total.
"Ughhh... please don't have king-ten... ok, I call," Northcraft announced as he set out chips to put Fuller at risk.
Shane Fuller: A?10?
Eddie Northcraft: 9?10?
Fuller was not happy about being in bad shape as he was drawing only to a king, but the river 2? did not provide and he was sent to the payout desk in 7th place.

Blair Hinkle opened to 100,000 and then Ron Walker moved all in for 370,000 after it folded to him. After confirming the count, Hinkle made the call to put him at risk and the cards were tabled.
Ron Walker: A?Q?
Blair Hinkle: 5?6?
Walker was in a good position to double preflop, but the flop of 5?7?J? put Hinkle in the lead with his pair of fives. The turn came another 5? to leave Walker drawing dead as the board completed with the A?. Hinkle was awarded the pot while Walker was eliminated in 8th place for a nice payout of $10,504.

After being left on fumes from the previous hand, Spencer Sanchez moved all in after an open from Jesse Jones. When action folded around to him, Jones made the call to put Sanchez at risk and the cards were tabled.
Spencer Sanchez: K?J?
Jesse Jones: J?10?
Although Sanchez was ahead with his king-high, the board ran out a flush for Jones to take the pot, eliminating him in 9th place as the first final table casualty.
