Michael Pedley Eliminated in 10th Place ($8,000)

[user75032]

Michael Pedley was well aware that he was one of the shortest stacks of the last ten players. When Neil Arce raised the button and Pedley looked down at {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

, he knew what he had to do.

"All in," said Pedley. Arce quickly called, but he was behind. Pedley had {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

; Arce was playing {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

. It was a king in the window, {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

, bringing some clapping and a shouted, "YEEESSS!" from Arce. The turn {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

gave Pedley a few additional outs, but the river bricked {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

to bounce him unceremoniously in 10th place. He earns $8,000.

With that elimination, the tournament clock is paused. We have a final table.
