Sam Trickett Eliminated in 11th Place ($49,360)

Sam Trickett was all in preflop with the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and up against the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for Chino Rheem. Trickett was all in for approximately 250,000 and in much need of some help to stave elimination.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and was not in the ballpark of Trickett. The turn added the {Q-Spades} to the board, which actually gave Trickett some outs to a chop if a queen or a jack were to fall on the river. It wouldn't be in the cards though for Trickett as the final card to the felt was the {3-Clubs}.

Rheem's nines held up and he earned the elimination of Trickett en route to 1.8 million in chips and an even bigger chip lead.
