Joe Bishop is Eliminated in 11th Place ($591,869)

Joe Bishop
Joe Bishop
After doubling up two opponents in a row, Joe Bishop moved all in for 2.4 million. Chino Rheem called from the big blind and showed {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} to Bishop's {A-Clubs} {3-Hearts}.

The {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {5-Spades} flop looked to be a good one for Bishop as it gave him two pair. But it also gave Rheem a wheel draw, and after the {Q-Clubs} turned Bishop walked over the the rail, unable to watch, with an ESPN camera recording his reaction.

And that's when the dealer placed the {4-Hearts} on the felt. Rheem thrust his arms in the air in triumph as the crowd went crazy. Bishop leaned against the rail in resignation as his two pair failed to hold up and he was eliminated from the Main Event. We're now redrawing as all ten players will now be seated at the main ESPN TV table.
