Paul Radcliffe Eliminated in 8th Place ($60,405); Joao Simao Eliminated in 7th Place ($79,661)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Bryce Yockey raised 250,000 in early position and Joao Vieira, Joao Simao, and Paul Radcliffe all made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of J♣7♥5♥ and Radcliffe jammed his last 595,000 into the middle. Yockey thought about it for about a minute while eying the other players' stacks before announcing a pot-sized raise. Vieira quickly folded, but Simao pushed his stack of about 2,700,000 across the line and all three hands were tabled.
Paul Radcliffe: Q♦J♥8♣3♥ 
Joao Simao: 5♣5♦4♣4♦
Bryce Yockey: K♦10♥9♥8♥
It was an action flop as everyone caught a piece, but the 10♠ turn gave Bryce the best hand as he made a jack-high straight. The 2♣ river changed nothing, sending Radcliffe out in eighth place and Simao out in seventh place.
