"Queens vs. Ace-jack, small blind vs. button is a bit of a cooler," Crawshaw said in his post-elimination interview. "It would have been nice to take it down, but sometimes you've just got to get it in and flip for your tournament life with huge amounts of money at stake.

"You can't come in with too much expectation. Sometimes you come in as the chip leader and you're out first, and sometimes you come in as the short stack and win.

"It was a surreal experience. Just happy to get thisfar. Unfortunately, the final table didn't go so well but that's how it is. You've just got to take what's given to you."
