Gregory Nerenberg Eliminated in 6th Place ($27,297)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Gregory Nerenberg
Gregory Nerenberg

David Plotkin moved all in from the button for 805,000 and Gregory Nerenberg shoved over the top. Everyone else released their hands and the two tabled their cards.

David Plotkin: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Gregory Nerenberg: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The flop came down {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Nerenberg retained the lead with his ace-high. A {10-Hearts} landed on the turn and Plotkin picked up some straight outs. The river was unfortunate for Nerenberg as the dealer flipped over the {j-Hearts}, completing the runner-runner straight for Plotkin who secured himself a full double through Nerenberg.

On the very next hand, Nerenberg moved his remaining 340,000 all-in from the button and Justin Carey called in the small blind.

Gregory Nerenberg: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Justin Carey: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, flopping a pair of eights for both players but the higher kicker of Carey took down the pot, eliminating Nerenberg from the tournament in sixth place.
