The 
board didn't help "xyzpoker" and this player bubbled the final table. Blinds will be rolled back to Level 23 with blinds at 17,500/35,000/4,500a so that players are at least 40 big blinds deep when the final table starts after a short break.
Timothy Adams opened to 105,000 from the cutoff and Sam Greenwood flashed the "One Time" emote before he called from the big blind.
Greenwood jammed for 302,538 the 
flop and Adams called.

river and Greenwood was eliminated in 11th place.
