Hand #24 - Daniel Corbin Eliminated in 9th Place ($30,814)

Hand #24 - Ben Fineman has the button in seat 3, Corbin moves all in from early position for 109,000, Pillai moves all in over the top for 258,000, and Shak moves all in over the top of both of them! This is a three-way all-in situation, and here are the cards:

Corbin: {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Pillai: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Shak: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The flop comes {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, and Pillai retains the lead with his pair of eights, but he needs to avoid four overcards -- the ace, the king, the queen, and the nine.

The turn card is the {3-Clubs}, and Beth Shak picks up a club flush draw. Corbin needs a king or a nine, but no club. Shak needs an ace, a queen, or any club. And Pillai wins with anything else.

The river card is the {3-Hearts}, and Pillai wins the pot with two pair, eights and threes.

Daniel Corbin is eliminated in ninth place, earning $30,814. The next player eliminated will receive $42,227 for eighth place.
