Welcome back to PokerNews' coverage of Event #51: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack.
After four days and 35 levels of play, the field of 7,862 players to down to just nine, each looking to make history by defeating the largest non-Main Event field in World Series of Poker history. Along with that comes a first-place prize of $1,327,083 and of course, a coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
On top of the chip counts at the start of the final table is Hugo Pingray with 22.7 million, roughly 57 big blinds. Pingray stayed under the radar for most of Day 4 before a later charge secured his spot atop the leaderboard. He is followed by Sean Drake with 20.975 million, who is looking for his second WSOP bracelet. Back in 2011, Drake took down the Casino Employees Event. They are followed by accomplished pros Thayer Rasmussen (15.475 million), Joseph McKeehen (12.925 million) and Zachary Gruneberg (11.85 million).

: 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante
Hand #1: With the button on Thayer Rasmussen, Sean Drake opened to 850,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Joshua Hillock in the big blind, and he moved all in for 8,575,000 with Drake quickly making the call.

With Hillock holding the dominating pocket pair, the dealer spread a 
flop to see Hillock needing to fade an ace or jack.
The turn of the 
changed nothing, but when the dealer burned and turned the 
to give Drake a Broadway straight and send Hillock to the rail in 9th place for a $127,364 as Drake climbs to over 30 million.
