The tournament is down to 10 players who have been seated at one ten-handed table.
Josh Field has been eliminated in 11th position, losing the hand to Christian Harder.
Christian opened the action with a UTG raise to 100K. Martin Leblanc called in middle position and Josh shoved for just over 1M chips from the BB. Christian called and Martin folded.

The flop was positive for Josh:

put Christian in the lead. The river 
didn’t save Josh and he is out of the tournament.
