Olivier Lirio

Olivier Lirio was all-in for the last 85,000 with the A ♣️ 8 ♠️ and up against Dakota Anderson, who had a towering stack but was pipped with the K ♣️ 8 ♣️ .

The 9 ♦️ 8 ♦️ 4 ♦️ 5 ♥️ 10 ♠️ runout put a small dent into Anderson's stack right before the blinds went up to 8,000-16,000/16,000. There are still 40 players left as the pace of eliminations has slowed down for now.

Player Chip Count
Dakota Anderson 1,130,000
Oliver Lirio 185,000
