Brandon Meyers Eliminated in 9th Place ($70,960)

The last Pro/Am qualifier has been eliminated as Brandon Meyers fell in ninth place, earning $70,960. He was eliminated by the man who seems to be doing all the damage today, chip leader Chino Rheem.

From the small blind, Meyers moved all in for what looked to be 120,000 in chips. Rheem called from the big blind holding the {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Meyers held the {K-Clubs}{2-Spades} and was behind. His cards were live though as the two players went to the flop.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Rheem added a pair of nines. Meyers still had an overcard with his king and could also go runner, runner queen, jack for a king-high straight.

The turn was the {10-Clubs}, which meant that the river would have to be a king and a king only if Meyers were to stay alive.

The river was a lowly black three and Meyers couldn't find the help he needed. He was eliminated in ninth place while Rheem climbed even closer towards two million in chips.
