Eric Blair Eliminated in 7th Place ($17,200)
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action folded to James Carroll on the button, who raised to put both the blinds all in. The small blind folded, and the big blind Eric Blair gave it some thought, before calling for his stack of 1,000,000 to put himself at risk.
Eric Blair: K♣Q♦
James Carroll: A♠2♥
Carroll was ahead with his ace high and improved to a pair of aces on the 10♦A♦4♦ flop, but Blair picked up straight and flush outs.
However, the 6♠ on the turn and A♥ river kept Carroll in front, to score the knockout.
