Hamid Izadi opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from the hijack, before William McCracken three-bet all in for 3,800 on the button. The small blind folded, when Scott Wise in the big blind four-bet to 8,000. Izadi then five-bet all in which got a quick fold from Wise to leave the players heads up, with McCracken at risk.
William McCracken: 6♠6♦ 
Hamid Izadi: 9♥9♣
McCracken was dominated and need to improve to stay in the tournament, but once the board ran out 8♦J♦Q♠4♣7♠ the pocket nines of Izadi were still best, to give him the knockout.
