Travell Thomas's Main Event run has ended in 19th, as has a remarkable comeback that saw him begin Day 2 with just 13,300 chips, then survive all of the way to the final three tables and very nearly the chip lead.
The last hand for Thomas began with Adam Teasdale opening for 35,000 from the cutoff seat, Thomas reraising to 100,000 from the small blind, Teasdale four-betting to 280,000, Thomas shoving for 863,000 total, and Teasdale calling to leave himself just a little behind.

fell on the turn to give Teasdale a Broadway straight, and after the river Thomas was out.
The final 18 players are now redrawing for seats around the last two tables. We'll get you their new seating arrangement shortly.

In one, Cathy Dever opened for 37,000 from middle position, Feming Chan called from the cutoff, then Aaron Overton reraised to 102,000 from the small blind. Dever got out of the way, but Chan stuck around.

In the other hand, Jack Thomas started things with a raise to 45,000 from under the gun and got a single caller in Pete Rios playing from the hijack seat. The flop came and both players checked. The turn brought the and another check from Thomas, and Rios responded with a bet of 55,000. Thomas then check-raised to 200,000, and Rios called.
