Jason Harned was on the lower end of the leaderboard for a few levels now, but managed to meticulously navigate his way onto the final table of the WPT500. With just over 14 big blinds, he open-shoved from middle position and found a call from Thomas Hall in the cutoff.

|---|---|---|
| Trevor | Argue | 24,975,000 |
| Thomas | Hall | 13,500,000 |

Trevor Argue raised the blinds to 800,000 from the button, and Geoffrey Hum 3-bet all-in from the big blind with his remaining 7,000,000 stack. Trevor made the quick call, and players tabled their hands.
Trevor: 
Geoffrey: 
Geoffrey was in dire shape, and with no help on the 
board, was eliminated from the WPT500 in 9th place.
9th place: Geoffrey Hum – $19,500
Geoffrey Hum entered the day as the chip leader, but it took an unlikely river to keep him at the final table. He open raised all in for 3,750,000 and when action came to Thomas Hall in the sb, he was clearly intrigued. He asked for the count, and then signalled a call by adding a chip to the one that was already positioned in front of him for the sb. Sebastien Lepine folded the bb and the cards were exposed.
Geoffrey: 
Thomas: 
Thomas took a big lead on the 
flop, and while the 
wasn’t the miracle Geoffrey needed, the was – he had hit his 2 outer!
The WPT500 is now down to 9 players – the final table! The action today has been relentless in its pace and unforgiving in the character of the play – and so although less than 4 hours have passed, there have already been 26 eliminations leading to this point.
The chip leader when play resumes is still Trevor Argue, who is now playing a stack of 18,050,000 – but there are two other players (Dave Graham and Thomas Hall) who are also over the 10M threshold, so nothing has been decided yet.
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Seat | Siège | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Said | El-Yousfi | Seat 1 | 5,775,000 |
| Miguel | Goncalo | Seat 2 | 8,650,000 |
| Jason | Harned | Seat 3 | 2,650,000 |
| Dave | Graham | Seat 4 | 15,900,000 |
| Thomas | Hall | Seat 5 | 12,400,000 |
| Sebastien | Lepine | Seat 6 | 2,450,000 |
| Trevor | Argue | Seat 7 | 18,050,000 |
| Geoffrey | Hum | Seat 8 | 9,375,000 |
| William | Blais | Seat 9 | 3,750,000 |
Denis Simard was just eliminated from the WPT500 in 10th place. With a stack of 2,375,000, he moved all-in from under the gun, and was looked up by Dave Graham next to act.

Dave:
