Blake Cahail Eliminated in 7th Place ($180,403)

Blake Cahail - 7th Place
Blake Cahail - 7th Place
Everyone knew it was going to take two big hands dealt simultaneously to end play today. We finally got those two hands. Blake Cahail opened for 150,000 in front of Chris Karagulleyan, who re-raised to 600,000. All other players passed back to Cahail, who moved all in. Karagulleyan quickly called.

Cahail: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Karagulleyan: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}

Karagulleyan had Cahail covered and had the best hand. There was no ace and no hearts on a flop of {4-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. The turn {6-Hearts} was a total blank, leaving Cahail looking for an ace on the river. He didn't get it; the river fell {J-Hearts}, eliminating Cahail in 7th place. He earned $180,403, and with his elimination Day 5 is done.
