Josh Weiss (picture) shoves his final 850k from early position and everyone folds until Michael Ruane and Gordon Vayo both call from the small and big blind. No action as the board comes J[s]7[h]3[h]5[c]4[c] and all players reveal their cards:
27 players are all that are left after 9 days and 6,710 eliminations, and they will now get a few hours of rest before it's time to return for the final day of play (Day 7) before the 9-handed final table (where $8,000,000 is put aside for the champion) is set and the tournament is paused until November, 2016.
