Jai Kemp - 8th Place

It took more than two and a half hours, but we finally have an eighth place finisher. Jai Kemp opened for 24,000, then called all in after action passed to Neil Channing in the big blind and he moved in. Kemp showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{k-Spades}

against Channing's {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

, then was left drawing at running cards for a chop after the flop came {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. He was drawing dead by the {j-Diamonds}

{j-Diamonds}

turn, with Channing making a totally unnecessary full house on the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

river.

Kemp earned AU$12,600 for his performance in this tournament. The question now is whether the players will loosen up with the first elimination officially in the books.
