Fadi Chamoun raises from the button to 23,000, David Brehme moves all in from the small blind for 64,000, and Jaime Staples moves all in over the top from the big blind for 171,000.

Chamoun uses at least one Time Chip to tank for a while before he calls, covering both players, and everyone turns over their cards.

Fadi Chamoun:  Spade AHeart Q
Jaime Staples:  Diamond AClub J
David Brehme:  Club AHeart 6

The board comes Spade 9Diamond 8Diamond 2Club 10Heart 9, and Staples turns an open-ended straight draw, but improves no further. Chamoun wins the entire pot with his queen kicker to eliminate both players from the tournament. Since Staples started the hand with more chips, he will receive the higher place finish.

Fadi Chamoun  –  900,000  (90 bb)
Jaime Staples  –  Eliminated in 102nd Place  (CAD $6,400)
David Brehme  –  Eliminated in 103rd Place  (CAD $6,400)
