Dennis Richardson Eliminated

With about 15,000 in the middle preflop, Dennis Richardson fired out 12,000 on a flop of {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} before Greg Alston check-raised all in. Richardson went into the tank with a decision for his tournament life. He agonized for several minutes before making the call.

It proved to be the right call as he tabled {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for the lead against Alston's {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} but the river was a repeat {7-Spades} to give Alston trip sevens and eliminate Richardson from the tournament.
