Sitting under the gun, Danny Boyaci limped for 8,000, and then moved all-in for just under 200,000 after an open to 25,000 from Ratharam, and a flat call by Andrew. Ratharam isolated, and they found themselves heads-up.

Community cards: 
With only 31,000 behind, Ko was all-in on the next hand, and both blinds called him (Ratharam and Andrew). Andrew put in a small bet on the 
flop, and then the two live players both checked the 
turn and 
river. Ko tabled 
, but lost to the 
of Andrew.

It took only two hands for James Gall to go from average stack to broke here on this final table of the Second Chance.
In the first hand, James opened from to 18,000 from the hijack position, and found calls from Ratharam Sivagnanam on the button and Andrew Hinrichsen in the small blind. He bet 32,000 on the 
board, and was flat called only by Ratharam. On the turn, he fired another 65,000, again called by Ratharam. On the 
river, he check-called a bet of 90,000, only to see his 
was second best to Ratharam’s 
.
On the very next hand, Ko Maddock moved all-in from middle position, and James committed the remainder of his chips, roughly 80,000.
Ko:
James: 
Ko made quads on the 
board to knock James out in 8th place. Ko, who entered the final table with a very short stack, has chipped up to nearly 200,000.

With under 10BB in front of him, Behram Antia 3bet his last chips from the button following an open from James Gall, who made the call.

board to send Behram packing.
9th place: Behram Antia – $3,710

when Danny opened with a 30K bet. Ratharam thought about it for a minute or so and then decided to go all in, and Danny quickly called.

Ratharam: 
Danny’s two pairs were well in the lead, and the wasn’t the club that Ratharam need to take down the pot,
Steven Buckner opened to 13,000 from under the gun, and Ko Maddock pushed all-in next to act. It folded around to Jason Conforti in the big blind, who called the 48,000 wager. Steven also called, and the two live players checked it down to the river.
With the board showing 
, Ko and Jason chopped the pot, as they showed and respectively, while Steven threw his 
into the muck.
