Tim West has just eliminated Gabriel Costner, and they are down to three-handed at Table #5.

Costner raised to 9,000 from the button, West reraised all in to 67,000 from the small blind, and Costner called with his remaining 55,000 or so.

West showed {A-Spades}{6-Spades} and Costner {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The flop was {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} and the turn the {2-Spades}, and Costner's tens were still good. But the {A-Clubs} came on the river, and Costner is done.
