Rick Bono Eliminated in 30th Place ($13,068)

In a series of two hands, Rick Bono has been eliminated from the PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final.

In the first hand, Bono raised to 20,000 only to see Jacob Meyer re-raise to 55,000 before making the call. The players saw a {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop and Meyer bet 80,000. Bono moved all in and, and Meyer made the call showing a king high flush draw, with the {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Bono was in bad shape having a lower flush draw with {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The turn was the {j-Diamonds}, and the river was the {q-Diamonds}, Meyer chipping up to 490,000 with an ace-high straight.

A few moments later, Bono moved all in for his remaining 50,000 with {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and was quickly called by Jacob Meyer again, this time with pocket kings. The board would not help Bono, coming {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{6-Spades} eliminating him from the tournament.

Jacob Meyer us up to 550,000 after the hand.
