Politano:
Stephensen:
With Politano racing for his tournament life, the dealer spread a flop to keep the Brazilian ahead.
The turn of the on the turn changed little, and with nearly everyone in the Penn & Teller theatre standing to sweat the river card, the dealer would deliver the on the river to send Politano to the rail in 8th place for a $947,077 payday.
As Stephensen scooped the pot to climb to over 27 million, Politano's rail continued to chant, cheer and clap for their countryman as he embraced all the support with a big smile on his face before exiting the stage.
Jorryt van Hoof raised to 1.3 million from early position. William Tonking called from the hijack seat, and then Dan Sindelar reraised to 3.5 million from the cutoff seat. Action then fell on Jacobson, and he took a bit of time before folding. Play then quickly folded over to Tonking, and he reraised all in. With 10.575 million behind, Sindelar gave it up, and Tonking won the pot.
