Storylines:
Final Table Set
With the elimination of James Richburg (9th) right before the level change, the final eight players took a half-hour break to prepare for the final table. Here was what the final table (eight-handed) looked like as play began in Level 20.
Seat 1: Tim D’Alessandro - 140,000
Seat 2: Jonas Klausen - 338,000
Seat 3: David Sklasnsky - 66,000
Seat 4: Josh Feldman - 200,000
Seat 5: Ryan Hughes - 400,000
Seat 6: Ron Long - 224,000
Seat 7: Alessio Isaia - 220,000
Seat 8: Thomas Hunt - 31,000
Richburg’s elimination took place at just about 4:00 pm, and preparations for the final table took longer than expected. Cards didn’t get back into the air until about 4:35 pm, and here is what has happened since then…
Big Hands:
Alessio Isaia Takes Chip Lead

The players had a showdown on the river where Isaia turned over a jack-high flush (high) and a 6-4-3-2-A low, scooping the pot and taking the chip from Hughes with almost 350,000. After the hand, former chip leader Ryan Hughes fell down to just about 250,000.
David Sklansky Eliminated in 8th Place ($19,306)
Down to his last 8,000 in chips, Davis Sklansky called all in with the 8 when Tim D’Alessandro completed the bet with the 4. Ryan Hughes raised the side pot with the 7 and D’Alessandro called.
D’Alessandro: 42AA
Hughes: 7Q105
Sklansky: 8Q67
D’Alessandro and Hughes both checked on fourth and fifth street, D’Alessandro bet on sixth street and Hughes called.

D’Alessandro and Hughes split both the side and main pots as David Sklansky was eliminated in 8th place ($19,306).
