BJ McBrayer Eliminated in 8th Place ($4,851)

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

BJ McBrayer

BJ McBrayer jammed for 60,000 from the hijack, and Judge Leo Boothe said he was making a "real loose" call in the big blind before tossing in calling chips.

BJ McBrayer: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Judge Leo Boothe: {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Some chop outs fell for Boothe on the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} flop, but the {5-Diamonds} turn and {3-Diamonds} river blanked off to give McBrayer the double.

The very next hand, McBrayer ripped his last 144,000 in from middle position, and Sley Sanchez made the call in the big blind.

BJ McBrayer: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Sley Sanchez: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

McBrayer's pair held on the {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop, but the {7-Diamonds} turn opened a host of new outs for Sanchez, giving him both counterfeit outs and a flush draw. The {2-Diamonds} river completed Sanchez's flush, and our defending HPT Ameristar Vicksburg champ falls a few spots shy of defending his crown.
