Thomas Tackett (pictured) was on the doorstep of elimination a few times but is now second in chips after getting a bunch from Russell Licking.
Tackett opened the hijack to 56,000 and Licking called in the cutoff. Tackett bet 100,000 on the A♦J♣J♥ flop and Licking decided to raise to 400,000. This led Tackett moving all-in for 875,000 total. Licking folded and Tackett turned over the 7♠ as he took the pot.
The next hand, Licking moved all-in for 900,000 with A♥7♠ and Mickey Stuefen woke up with A♣A♠ in the small blind. The hand was over by the turn and Stuefen doubled his stack of 194,000. Jon Lawson is the short stack with 285,000.
