After the 2 on the turn, Skyllas check-called a bet of 400,000.

Both players checked after the K on the river. Rothschild tabled Q9 for a pair of nines to take the pot, as Skyllas tossed his cards in the muck.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Seamus Delaney
Seamus Delaney

Action folded to Seamus Delaney in the cutoff, and he raised all in for 2,000,000. Then Nicholas Skyllas three-bet all in for 6,100,000 from the button, which got both blinds to quickly fold and leave the players heads up, with Delaney at risk.

Seamus Delaney: 77 All in
Nicholas Skyllas: JJ

Skyllas had the bigger pocket pair, and Delaney would need improve to stay in the tournament. But after the board ran out QQ692 the pocket jacks of Skyllas remained the best hand, and Delaney was eliminated in 8th place.
