Brandon Demes - 8th Place

It was quick preflop action that resulted in the elimination of Brandon Demes. Dermot Blain opened the pot to 55,000 from late position. Demes was in the small blind and re-raised all in for less than 500,000 total. Blain quickly called.

Blain: {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

Demes:

{A-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

Demes was looking for an ace or lots of red cards. Instead he got all black cards, {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

. That gave him a few extra outs, but it wasn't to be. Demes didn't hit the turn, which came {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

, or the river, which fell {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

. He was eliminated in 8th place, walking away with $41,621.
