About one orbit after the formation of the final table, David Bonneau was eliminated in 8th position. Richard Sysko, who started the final with over a million chips, followed in 7th. He could not get anything going and lost a lot of chips to various players until he got involved in a heads-up pot against Samuel Roussy-Majeau.
Sysko opened to 75K from the under-the-gun position and got 3-bet to 215K. He called, and then check called the flop for 150K. When he checked again on the turn, Majeau put him all-in. Majeau being very aggressive, Sysko had expected that line and called right away.
