Cary Katz Eliminated in 9th Place
Short stack Cary Katz moved all in preflop on the button with [AcJh] for 500,000, called by Webster Lim in the big blind with [8c8d]. The board was paint-free: [9d7s4s5h2s] and Katz leaves his fourth final table this week without a payday.

Testing the Waters
An understandable cagey start to this final table, from which a third of the players will leave with no prize money.
“It’s going to be fun, watching everyone be tight for 40 mins, then have 10 big blinds and realising that’s where it all went wrong,” predicted Ben Heath before cards hit the air.
So far Kahle Burns has taken down a set of blinds and antes with a hijack open with [KdQh] then lost them back raising to 80,000 and then folding to a button jam from Michael Soyza for 925,000 with [AsJh].
