'Mr Teddy' Eliminated in 21st Place ($30,600)

Tim Baker

Level 25 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

'Mr Teddy' jammed for 700,000 from middle position, and Konstantin Voronin called from the small blind to put him at risk.

'Mr Teddy': 8♣8♠ All in
Konstantin Voronin: J♥J♠

'Mr Teddy' held the smaller pair and needed an eight to keep his Main Event dreams alive.

It never arrived on the 7♥9♥K♣7♣6♣ runout, and Alkalay had to settle for a 21st-place finish, while Voronin moved above the four-million mark.
