Craig Welko: A♦J♠
Aaron McIntosh: A♠K♣
McIntosh had Welko dominated, and the reigning Player of the Year couldn't catch up on the 9♦6♥3♣7♠10♠ board as he was sent to the rail in ninth place.
The next hand, McIntosh opened to 260,000 under the gun and Darroll Sayles moved all in for 1,255,000 on the button. "This would be a crazy fold. I don't have a good feeling," McIntosh said as he tanked for a few minutes before folding.
"Same hand. You guys think I'm crazy," McIntosh said, claiming he folded ace-king.
