Event 3: Ryan Michael Eliminated in 8th Place ($7,989)

Ryan Michael took a pretty good hand up against Abdul Amer, but his {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} was still vulnerable to the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

When the flop came {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} Michael stood in acknowledgement that his tournament life would soon be over, and sure enough, the turn ({5-Spades}) and river ({7-Clubs}) failed to bring any miracles.

Michael earned $7,989 for his deep run here in Event 3, but it was clear that he expected to finish a bit higher after taking cowboys up against an ace-high hand.
