Scott Williams Eliminated in 17th Place ($10,327)

Level 24 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Anthony Vidmer opened for 45,000 under the gun only to have Scott Williams, who was next to act, three-bet to 90,000. Justin Truesdell was next to act and put in a four-bet to 200,000, which pushed Vidmer out of the pot. Williams responded with a five-bet to around 400,000, Truesdell six-bet all in and Williams snap-called.

Showdown
Truesdell: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Williams: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

It was a cooler for Truesdell who picked up the second best hand only to run into the best at a crucial point in the tournament. Speaking of coolers, Williams went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows when the flop came down {9-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} to give Truesdell a full house and the lead.

The table erupted in disbelief at the crazy turn of events with nearly 1.9 million chips at stake. The {3-Spades} turn was inconsequential, meaning Williams needed an ace to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the {J-Diamonds} appeared. The players had nearly identical stacks at the start of the hand, but after they were counted down it was determined Truesdell had Williams by a small margin.

Williams finished in17th place for $10,327.
