Brian left with a smile, satisfied with the number of pay jumps he managed to see. Douglas Best followed him, after committing his now short stack.

Douglas was crippled by Jason earlier, and saw his opponent finish the job after yet another brutal river.

7th place: Brian Pinheiro Lopez – $8,720
6th place: Douglas Best – $10,650

Jason Morin opened to 450K, and Douglas Best called from the blind. Douglas min-check-raised the flop to 1.2M, and bet 1M on the turn. When the river appeared, the pot was already huge, and Douglas went all-in. Jason sighed, took a few seconds, and called.

The whole table had an outburst, realizing the relevance of the river, and Jason Morin raked in a 10-million-chip pot. He is now working with a stellar stack, almost twice as much as Spencer Jean-Baptiste, the second in chips.

Brian Pinheiro Lopez managed to triple up on the last hand before the break. He is still the shortest stack, but now has a fighting chance. Here are the updated counts:

First Name | Prénom	Last Name | Nom	Seat | Siège	Stack | Tapis
Eric	Benhamron	Table 70 - Seat 1	3,800,000
Douglas	Best	Table 70 - Seat 2	6,200,000

Thomas was one of the strongest players left in the field. His departure increases everyone’s expected value on this final table.
