Fresh off the break, Craig Jones opened on the button and snap called Mr. Fendy's all-in for 2,350,000 with pocket aces just barely covering his opponent.

Mr. Fendy in dire need of some help, found none on board T♦ 8♦ 5♣ 2♣ A♠ , ending his run in an impressive 3rd place finish and cutting the field down to the final two.

Mr. Fendy open raised all-in on the button and saw Craig Jones happily call off his remaining 11 big blinds.

Jones in great shape, smooth sailed to victory as board 4♥ 9♣ A♠ 5♥ K♠ missed to connect with Mr. Fendy's suited connectors, leaving his pocket pair good for the takedown.

Running on fumes having just lost a race, Phan Huu Minh Tri flicked in his last two big blinds and faced Mr. Fendy for a second time around.

Armon Van Wijk opened 400,000 in early position, leaving himself with two big blinds behind. Mr. Fendy called for the rest, and Van Wijk was left with no choice but to flick it in.

Van Wijk dominated, had his hopes up as the turn 6♦ 7♣ 2♠ 9♦ landed him the advantage. Unfortunately, the river Q♦ gave Mr. Fendy the justice he was looking for, eliminating Van Wijk from the W High Roller games.

With action folded to the hijack, Mr. Fendy opened the pot before facing a swift response from David Erquiaga, who moved all-in for 1,145,000 on the next seat.

Mr. Fendy went deep into the tank, burning through three time banks as he mulled over the decision. He eventually arrived at a fold, releasing his hand just as the final eight players headed into break time.
