9th place — Michael Moncek. He got all the chips in with 77 against Jason Koon’s AJo. A river straight decided a 22 BB pot.

8th place — Phil Ivey. Eliminated after getting all in with JJ against Bryn Kenney’s QQ in a 38 BB pot.

7th place — Brandon Wilson. He lost almost all of his chips after getting all in with JJ against Sean Winter’s AQs and Adrian Mateos’ ATs. A queen on the turn decided a 31 BB pot. Left with just 4 BB, Wilson later defended his BB with T8s after a BTN open from Koon holding JTo. The flop brought a ten, the rest of Wilson’s chips went into the middle, and Koon’s kicker played.

6th place — Samuel Mullur. He shoved 11 BB blind versus blind with 10 9 , and Mateos called with A 8 . Board: 4 9 Q 9 5 .

A self-described Razz enthusiast, Sebastian Pauli first played the WSOP in 2013 in the $2,500 Seven Card Razz event. He finished 4th in that tournament for $52.8K.

Pauli spent years trying to top that result, but nothing worked. That 4th-place finish and $52.8K remained his best WSOP result for more than a decade.
