[user66118]

Jonathan Little, on the button, and Clint Shafer, in the big blind, get all their chips in preflop. Little flips over {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

. Shafer is covered, but has the best hand with {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

.

However, his lead in the hand doesn't last long. The flop comes {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

, giving Little a set, and putting Shafer on the brink of elimination. The {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

and

{4-Diamonds}

that follow don't allow Shafer to catch back up, and he is eliminated.

Little increases his chip count to around 62,000.
