John Dahlberg Eliminated in 9th Place ($19,130)

Facing an opening raise, John Dahlberg three-bet to 145,000. Next to act, Emil Mactal reraised to 350,000. It folded back to Dahlberg, who tanked for just a bit before moving all in. Mactal simply shrugged before making the call, and saw that he was dominated.

Dahlberg: [Qh][Qs]
Mactal: [Jh][Jd]

The flop was safe for Dahlberg, coming down [Ah][8d][7s], but the turn was a disaster, coming down the [Js]. Dahlberg now needed a two outer of his own to survive, but it didn't happen, as the [10s] completed the board. The chip stacks were counted down, and Mactal barely had Dahlberg covered.

With that, the final eight are taking a 15-minute break.
