Hand #177 - Nathan Templeton

Nathan Templeton has the button in seat 6 and raises to 80,000. Devin Porter folds his small blind and John Conkright moves all in for 417,000 from the big blind. Templeton makes the call and the players show:

Conkright: {K-Clubs} {5-Spades}
Templeton: {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

With little delay, the flop comes {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}. Templeton hits it, and hits it hard. Conkright will need serious help if he is to avoid elimination.

The turn brings the {A-Spades} which seals the deal. Nathan Templeton wins the hand and sends John Conkright home in 4th place. No one even noticed the meaningless {2-Spades} hit the river.

John Conkright is our 4th place finisher and will take home $101,228 for his impressive finish.
