Hand #140: Steven Jones raised to 6,000,000 on the button with the Q♦6♦ and Adam Walton called. Daniel Weinman then squeezed to 27,000,000 in the big blind and Jones folded.

With the action back on Walton, he snap-shoved for 209,500,000 - a whopping 84 big blinds - and Weinman instantly called it off.

Adam Walton: 8♠8♣
Daniel Weinman: A♥A♦

Walton's super aggressive playing style had him on the verge of elimination but he picked up some equity with the 7♣5♥3♣ flop and 9♠ turn. However, it was a blank that followed with the K♣ river and Walton's run ended in third place for $4,000,000.

There will now be a short break ahead of the heads-up duel for the 2023 WSOP Main Event title.
