Kitchie Can't Hold, Falls to Gierlinger

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Howard Kitchie - Eliminated
Howard Kitchie - Eliminated

After a series of preflop raises, Howard Kitchie moved all in before the flop for an unknown amount. Eric Gierlinger was deep in the tank while contemplating his action. After a moment, he announced a call.

Kitchie: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Gierlinger: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Kitchie was in a dominating position and Gierlinger was looking for one of the two remaining jacks heading to the community cards. He found exactly that after the dealer spread {10-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} on the felt. Gierlinger gave an energetic fist pump while Kitchie smacked the table in frustration. The {10-Hearts} paired the board on the turn, giving Gierlinger jacks full of tens.

Kitchie was mining for a queen on the final card but ultimately came up short. The {3-Spades} bricked out for him and he was eliminated just a few spots shy of the money. Gierlinger raked in the massive pot and is now the chip leader with 490,000.
