Sam Trickett Eliminated in 22nd Place ($35,500)
Level 25
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Sam Trickett shoved for 5,200,000 from the cutoff and Garik Tamasian called from the small blind.
Sam Trickett: K♠9♦ 
Garik Tamasian: A♠J♣
Trickett was an underdog and despite making a pair of nines on the 8♣J♠9♠ flop, Tamasian paired his jack to retain the lead. Though Trickett regained the lead when the K♥ hit turn, giving him two pair.
Just as it seemed like the drama was over, Tamasian improved to two pair on the A♦ river, which meant Trickett was out in 22nd.
