Ray Ross Eliminated in 6th Place ($12,895)

Ray Ross - 6th Place ($12,895)

Ray Ross opened for a cool million chips and Abdul Amer announced a call thinking Ross was already all in. Ross still held a stack of grey T5000 chips, however, and so the dealer fanned a flop of {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts} across the felt.

Amer had already declared himself all in before the flop arrived, with Ross essentially committed to the pot via his preflop raise, and with reluctance evident in his splashy call, Ross put the rest of his chips at risk.

Showdown:

Amer: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Ross: {K-Hearts}{j-Spades}

"Hold up one time..." Amer pleaded with the dealer, and when the {8-Clubs} arrived on the turn, he was one step closer to having that wish granted. Only a nine on the river would save Ross, but the {Q-Diamonds} provided no help, sending the Team Kitten member home to Pennsylvania with an additional $12,895 in his pocket.
