Thomas Houston Eliminated in 12th Place ($6,658)
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Thomas Houston open-shoved for 160,000 and then it got to chipleader Shaun Emery who announced a raise to 400,000. The rest of the table quickly got out of the way and the cards were tabled.
Thomas Houston: A♦5♣
Shaun Emery: A♠6♠
Houston would need to hit a five or have the board include all high cards for a chop, but the runout of 4♥7♥Q♣8♥3♠ meant that Emery's six-kicker played and he was sent to the payout desk in 12th place.
