On the eighth hand of hand-for-hand play, the field would reach the money. Benjamin Strickland open shoved his remaining 60,000, and the action would fold around to An-Ming Hwang who would announce a call. The two hands would be tabled as players from outer tables peered over to see the result:
Hwang: K♦ K♣ Strickland: A♠ K♠
Flop: 3♦ 6♣ 8♦
Turn: K♥
River: 10♣
Strickland would ask his table mates what Hwang's holdings were as he couldn't see across the table, and he wasn't happy to find out the news. His hopes were still alive to hit one of the three live aces after the flop, but the turn would have Ben drawing dead, and the field would be in the money.
At an outer table, Vichen Siprajim would be eliminated as well, which means that both Strickland and Siprajim would split the 54th place money.
