Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Craig Varnell opened to 1,500,000 on the button and big blind Sean Hoesing shoved all in for 6,300,000. Varnell called putting Hoesing's tournament life at risk.

Sean Hoesing: 7♦7♣ All in
Craig Varnell: J♣9♣

Hoesing was in the lead and remained so when the flop came K♥2♥5♦. Nothing changed on the K♦ turn. Varnell was pushed ahead when the river J♥ fell on the river, eliminating Hoesing from the tournament.

Hoesing bid Varnell, who he has been talking to this whole time, good luck, before leaving the floor.
