Alex Foxen moved all in from the small blind and Mehdi Saleh called from the big blind. Saleh was the player at risk for about 500,000.
It was a flip with Saleh showing 88 and Foxen tabling AQ.
The flop was KQ7 and Foxen moved into the lead after flopping middle pair. The turn was the J and the river was the 3. Saleh was eliminated in 9th place for $22,005 and there was a short break in the action while the final eight players redraw for seats at the final table.
