John White has just picked up two substantial pots in near back to back. The first opens with a 35,000 raise by Craig Blight on the button that’s called by the small blind and big blind White. Blight continues on the flop and only White check-calls. Same action on the turn with another check-call by White of 105,000. Then with the river , White switches up and jams 275,000, Blight uses up a time-bank before opting to give up his hand.

Two hands after, White min-raises from the button with , big blind Daniel Hachem shoves holding . White snap-calls and Hachem sees the bad news. With the board running , that ends Hachem’s hunt while White ships another pot.

John White – 865,000 (57 bb)
Craig Blight – 865,000 (57 bb)
Daniel Hachem – Eliminated
