Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson has just been eliminated from the tournament by fellow pro David Benyamine; here's how the hand went down:

David made a standard raise from the button holding a poacket pair of jacks. Doyle then countered by moving all in over the top of Benyamine's bet, and David made the call. When it was time to table the cards, Doyle flipped over the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, in major trouble against Benyamine's jacks.

The board eventually blanked out eight-high and Benyamine's jacks were good enough to send Doyle to the rail. Brunson received a warm round of applause from the crowd in his exit.

Now guaranteed a minimum payday of $75,000, Benyamine will face off against 4-time NBC Heads-Up money winner Huck Seed in tomorrow's quarterfinals.
