Sundiata DeVore (Brooklyn, NY)

Almost immediately after John Manzella was sent to the rail, Sundiata DeVore was next to go, as he got his pocket aces cracked by the former chip leader John Germano to be eliminated in 7th place.

That action was picked up on a board of {Ks}{5c}{4s}, with Germano checking to the in position DeVore, who bet 83,000. Quickly, Germano check-raised to 200,000 and after some thought, and a count of his own stack, DeVore moved all-in for just over 550,000. Germano snap called and threw over {4c}{4h}, leaving DeVore and his {Ad}{Ac} searching for just two outs on the turn and river.

They didn’t come, as the {9s} and the {8h} completed the board to confirm his final table elimination. When the dust settled, he was earning just under $4,000 for his run, while John Germano was chipping up to just over the 1,500,000 mark, back to where he started this final table session.

There are just a few minutes remaining in Level 23, after which there will be a ten minute break.
