Tom Hanlon eliminated in 7th place ($134,303)

Mizrachi: J862

Hanlon had nothing following the flop, but picked up a pair of aces on the turn and suddenly had a decent chance to double up. But the trey on the river didn't match any of his hole cards, and he was knocked out in 7th place. For his three-day effort Hanlon will receive $134,303.
