2007 WSOP bracelet winner Ciaran O'Leary was just eliminated from the tournament by Frank Lee; here's how it went down:

Ciaran made it 800 to go before the flop from middle position and was called by both the button player and Frank Lee. The flop came J-7-2 rainbow and the action was checked to Ciaran, who made it 2,200 to go. The button folded and Lee made the call.

The turn brought an offsuit nine, prompting Lee to pass the first action to O'Leary, who moved all in for his last 10,400; Lee made the call and tabled 7-8 for a pair of sevens and a gutshot straight draw. Ciaran revealed pocket kings for a commanding lead, but the river did not cooperate, bringing a 10 for Lee which completed his straight and sent O'Leary to the rail.
