Hand #33 - Robert Aron Eliminated in 8th Place ($46,862)

Hand #33 - Michael Gracz has the button in seat 5, Vu raises to 70,000, Aron moves all in from the small blind for 154,000, and Vu calls with {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Aron shows {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, and he's in a dominant position to double up here.

Tommy Vu takes a walk away from the table, walking in front of media row, into the audience, where he pauses before continuing his walk around the arena.

As this is the last hand before the break, all of the players have gotten up from the table, and it's just the dealer and the chip stacks right now.

The flop comes {J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, and Aron retains the lead with ace-high. But the turn card is the {9-Spades}, and Vu picks up an open-ended straight draw, winning on a king, a ten, or an eight.

The river card is the {K-Clubs}, and Tommy Vu wins the pot with a king-high straight.

Robert Aron is eliminated in eighth place, earning $46,862. The next player eliminated will receive $63,327 for seventh place.

Hand #32

Hand #32 - Dolph Arnold has the button in seat 4, Vahedi raises from early position to 60,000, and Gracz calls from the small blind. The flop comes {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}, Gracz checks, Vahedi bets 75,000, and Gracz folds. Vahedi takes the pot.

Fear Da Va-Heat-D

A female fan sitting in the stands has a homemade sign that reads "Fear Da Va-HEAT-D" (a reference to Amir Vahedi) and there are flames drawn all around the word "HEAT."
