Jamie Pickering Eliminated in 13th Place ($61,718)

Shamus

Down to around 100,000, Jamie Pickering raised to 42,000 and Alexander Kostritsyn called from the button. The flop came {K-Spades}

. Pickering checked, Kostritsyn bet the pot, and Pickering put his last chips in the middle.

Pickering showed {A-Diamonds}

-- a nice hand before that flop, but not as great after. Kostritsyn had {K-Clubs}

for top two pair. The turn and river didn't help Pickering, and the runner-up in Event No. 19, the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event, goes home in 13th place in this one.

Kostritsyn is now at 250,000.
