David Chiu Eliminated in 61st Place ($10,571)

(This hand happened before the break.) Joe Pelton raised from the button to 15,500, David Chiu moved all in from the small blind for about 40,000, and Pelton called with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Chiu showed {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and he'd need to improve to survive.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Chiu paired his kicker to take the lead, while Pelton picked up an open-ended straight draw. The turn card was the {2-Hearts}, and the river card was -- the {A-Spades}. Pelton rivered an ace-high straight to win the pot.

David Chiu was eliminated in 61st place, earning $10,571.
