Jamie Pickering Eliminated

Phil Ivey opened with a raise to 5,500 and with the action on JC Tran on the button, he bumped it to 15,000 total. Jamie Pickering eyed his stack before making the call from the big blind. Ivey passed and both players saw the flop of {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

.

Pickering splashed the pot with five yellow 5000 chips, which was immediately followed with a reraise from Tran to 75,000. Pickering called all-in and the cards were tabled.

Pickering: {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

Tran:

{J-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

Pickering would need to catch his two-outer king to stay alive, but when the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

and

{3-Diamonds}

fell on the turn and river, we lost Pickering as Tran moved up to 315,000 in chips.
