Josh Hutchins Eliminated in 2nd Place ($405,720 AUD)
Level 25
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Josh Hutchins shoved for his last 2,850,000 on the button and Andy Lee called to put him at risk.
Josh Hutchins: 10♠9♥
Andy Lee: Q♣10♥
Hutchins went with his middling connector holding approxiately nine big blinds and needed some serious help after running into Lee's dominating queen-ten.
The 8♦2♦K♦ flop looked bleak for Hutchins, but he did pick up some additional outs to a chop after the 3♦ brought four cards to a flush on the turn.
It wasn't meant to be, however, as the K♠ filled out the board — leaving Lee best with his queen to eliminate Hutchins in second place and put an end to the tournament.
