On the final hand, Oppenheim was all in for 2,000 holding A-K, but Moore's 9-8 outdrew him to send him to the loser's bracket.

The match between Steve Sung and John Racener has finally come to an end. Racener got really short and committed his chips after flopping top pair of eights with A-8. Sung held a heart flush draw and decided to go with it.
Sung hit his flush and Racener is eliminated in a tie for ninth, earning $25,150.
Sung moves on and will now face Steve Billirakis.
James Mackey Defeats Evan Roberts
After grinding him down to his final 2,000 in chips, James Mackey pushed with Q-6 to put his short stacked opponent, Evan Roberts all in. Roberts woke up with pocket threes, but it failed to hold when Mackey paired up.
Mackey advances to the final two in the winner's bracket and Roberts must now fight his way back from the loser's bracket.
Steve Sung is still battling John Racener to determine our final ninth place finisher, but the next match between Amit Makhija and Vivek Rajkumar has already been determined.
Rajkumar built an early lead and slowly grinded Makhija until the final hand came down. Makhija bet a pair of eights on the river and Rajkumar put him all in. After Makhija had gone through all his options, he decided to call all in and saw the bad news as Rakumar turned up the nut flush.
Makhija is eliminated in a tie for 7th place for $35,000. Rajkumar advances to the final six.
The winner's bracket final four has begun and the two matches in the final four are as follows:

Winners Advance to Winner's Bracket Final
Evan Roberts vs. James Mackey
Vivek Rajkumar and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Ryan Hughes had a back and forth match that saw both players spend some time on the ropes.
Early on in the match, Hughes was down to his final 6,000 in chips. After doubling up twice, once with kings vs. eights, Hughes now had the lead. He kept it for about half an hour before Rajkumar made a Broadway straight with a king in his hand and took back the lead.
That pot gave Rajkumar the 3-1 chip lead and he close out the match shortly afterwards, advancing to the overall elite eight to play good friend Amit Makhija.
Hughes was eliminated in a tie for ninth place and earned $25,150.
