Mike Lisanti Eliminated
Hand #19 - Matt Keikoan

Mike Lisanti has the button in seat 7. Matt Keikoan raises to 41,000 from under the gun. Shannon Shorr calls the raise from middle position. Mike Lisanti moves all in for roughly 284,000 from the button. The blinds fold and action is back to Keikoan. He surveys the situation, studying Lisanti and Shorr. He eventually calls. Shorr folds. The players show:

Keikoan: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Lisanti: {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

The flop comes {9-Spades} {4-Spades} {8-Clubs} missing both players. Mike Lisanti's tournament life is on the line. The turn comes the {J-Clubs}. The river does not provide the ace that Lisanti needs when it brings the {J-Hearts} and he is giong to be our ninth-place finisher, taking home $50,705 in spending money.
