Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Bert Hammond shoved for 275,000 on the button and was called by Preston McEwen from the big blind, putting his tournament life at risk.
Bert Hammond: K♥10♦
Preston McEwen: A♦9♠
Hammond needed to improve, but the flop was bad news as it came 4♣3♠A♥, giving McEwen a pair of aces.
The Q♣ turn offered some hope for Hammond, as a jack would give him a straight, but the river did not comply when it came, the 8♠, to eliminate Hammond in 15th place.
Hammond earned $2,425 for his finish.
