With already a considerable amount of chips in the middle following a raising war preflop, Christopher Roger open-shoved the flop from the small blind position in a hand where he was heads-up with Nick Nickoletopoulos, who was on the button. After a moment of consideration, Nick made the call, and both players tabled their hands.

Nick had quite a few outs that could give him the win, however the turn and river were both blanks for him. Given he was the shorter of the two stacks, he was eliminated on that hand, ending his tournament in 8th place.
8th place: Nick Nickoletopoulos – $470
