Anton Morgenstern Eliminated in 8th Place ($75,355)

Level 31 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Anton Morgenstern

Liran Twito raised to 600,000 from the early position and Anton Morgenstern shoved from the button for 5,315,000. Action folded back to Twito who snap-called.

Anton Morgenstern: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Liran Twito: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for Morgenstern to flop top two pair but it also gave Twito the gutshot to the straight and a flush draw.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} to give Twito the flush indeed. Morgenstern needed another ace or king to stay alive but the {2-Clubs} was dealt on the river for Morgenstern to be eliminated in eighth place for $75,355 after almost 2.5 hours of eight-handed play.
