8

and Rockowitz led for 945,000. Coburn raised all-in and Rockowitz shot up from his chair and asked the dealer to pull in the bet.
He stood in silence mulling over the decision before making the call. Coburn showed K9 and Rockowitz was ahead with 7

Nishijima led out for 475,000 and after a brief pause, Coburn announced that he was all-in. Nishijima re-checked his hole cards and made the call, tabling QQ. It was basically a coin flip when Coburn showed 89.
All of the drama was gone on the turn when the dealer peeled off the 6, filling Coburn’s straight and making the river card meaningless. The 6 was dealt as a formality and Nishijima was eliminated in third place. Coburn now takes on Jesse Rockowitz for a bracelet.

Larry Wilder, Stephen Chidwick and Kevin Odell are not too far behind, and Dutch Boyd is still going strong with 619,000 in chips, fresh off of a WSOP title won just a few weeks ago.
