Brandon Hall Eliminated in Ninth Place ($47,000)
Derek Raymond raised to 120,000 on the button preflop and Mike Beasley made the call on the small blind. Brandon Hall reraised all in for 1,465,000 and Raymond mucked. Beasley made the call and they flipped over their cards:
Hall: K J
Beasley: A Q
Board: A 5 3 4 10
Beasley won the hand with a flush to grow his stack close to 5 million and Hall was eliminated from the tournament as the final-table bubble boy. Play ended for the night at the conclusion of the hand.
