Troy Sweet Eliminated in 8th Place ($57,630 AUD)
Level 27
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Michael Gathy opened to 1,000,000 from middle position and was called by Kahle Burns in the small blind and Troy Sweet in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Action checked through on the K♦8♠9♠ flop and Burns checked again on the J♣ turn. Sweet then moved all in for his last 3,825,000, which got a call from Gathy and a fold from Burns.
Troy Sweet: 9♣8♣
Michael Gathy: K♣10♣
Sweet held the lead with two pair, but needed to fade a lot of outs against Gathy's top pair and open-ended straight draw.
The Q♦ river filled Gathy's straight and Sweet was eliminated in eighth place.
