Phillip Latimer Eliminated in 22nd Place ($22,200)

Michael Walsh opened to 30,000 in middle position and Phillip Latimer called in the hijack. Ekrem Bozkurt three-bet to 95,000 in the small blind and both Walsh and Latimer called.

The flop came Q♣9♥5♥ and Bozkurt continued with a bet of 120,000. Walsh quickly folded but Latimer called to see the 3♥ on the turn. Bozkurt checked this time and Latimer slid out a bet of 225,000. Bozkurt check-raised all in and Latimer used two of his time banks before calling off his stack of around 600,000.

Phillip Latimer: Q♥J♦ All in
Ekrem Bozkurt: K♥K♦

Bozkurt was way out front with the best pair and the better of the two flush draws. The 8♠ hit the river and Latimer saw his chips evaporate.
