Ernest Garrett - 10th Place
Ernest Garrett - 10th Place

Ben Wiora opened for 80,000 in middle position and Ernest Garrett shoved from his left for 500,000. Gerald Heckathorn also moved in after one fold, and everyone folded to Wiora. He asked for a count: 1.415 million.

"On me?" Heckathorn asked in the middle of Wiora's tank. Informed it was still on Wiora, Heckathorn took his medication, the alarm for which had gone off recently, and swigged some beer to wash it down.

"I just want to go home," he said.

At that, Wiora mucked {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} face-up.

Heckathorn: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Garrett: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Garrett yelled for an ace or a queen after {5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} hit the board, but the river was an {8-Diamonds}.

"F***," he said curtly.
