Andrew Makary Eliminated

Team PokerNews Player Andrew Makary called a 2,500 pre-flop bet from the small blind and saw a {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{J-Spades} flop. He then passed the first action to his opponent (and original raiser) Jason Brown, who led out with a 5,000 bet. Makary then min-raised to 10,000 and was countered by another bet from Brown which put Makary all in.

Andrew called off his last 32,000 worth of chips and tabled a pocket pair of jacks for a set - well ahead of Brown's A-10 double gutter. The lead was short-lived however, as the {9-Diamonds} fell off on the turn, giving Brown a queen-high straight. Makary still had ten outs with one card to go, but the {6-Hearts} that came on the river wasn't one of them and he was eliminated from the tournament.
