Glen Bean Eliminated in 9th Place for $19,464

'Has-bean', 'Mr Bean's Holiday', 'Bean and Gone' -- however you want to put it, a short-stacked Glen Bean has finally departed after grinding like no man has ever ground (or is that grinded?) before.

Calling all in from the big blind for a total of 21,000 after a preflop raise of 24,000 from Zachary King, Glen Bean seemed in confident spirits when he revealed a {J-Hearts}

to King's superior {A-Hearts}

, claiming "I'm going to win this one."

And his prediction wasn't too far from being realized, a pair on a {9-Clubs}

board looking like the winning hand, until the river delivered a heart-stopping {A-Clubs}

.

A polite applause from the rail met Bean's exit, as the youngster congratulated his triumphant opponent and quietly left the table.

And then there were eight.
