'raidan' Freezes 'The Iceman' -- or -- Teddy Monroe Eliminated in 16th Place ($51,114)

Teddy 'The Iceman" Monroe has just been eliminated from the main event by Danny 'raidan' Lu, earning a $51,114 payday for his efforts.

The word on the street is, Lu and Monroe got it all in preflop, Lu with pocket queens and Monroe with pocket nines. Dominated and in desperate need of help from the board to stay alive, Monroe was able to pick up a gutshot straight draw by the turn, but the river blanked out solidifying The Iceman's exit.

Teddy was treated to a nice round of applause from the audience as he exited the tournament area. Meanwhile, Lu stacked up right around 910,000 in chips with the win.
