Danny Chamberlain Eliminated in 17th Place ($22,304)

During a battle of the blinds between Richard Tygum in the small blind and Danny Chamberlain in the big blind, Tygum managed to get all in for his last 761,000.

Tygum held {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and was racing with Chamberlain's {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Chamberlain was in the lead when he paired his ace on the flop of {7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs} but Tygum could still win with any four or club. Just like that the dealer delivered the {4-Spades} on the turn, guaranteeing Tygum a double up as the meaningless {10-Spades} rivered. This hand knocked Chamberlain down to about 460,000 in chips.

A few hands later the two would engage in a confrontation again where Tygum would put the nail in the coffin. Chamberlain was all in for his life with pocket eights but was unable to escape Tygum's {10-}{10-}. Chamberlain will earn $22,304 for his efforts this week.
