Steve Pierce Eliminated in 15th Place ($29,309)

Steve Pierce was eliminated after moving all-in preflop with pocket sevens. Parviz Razavian called and held {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. The flop came {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {3-Spades} and Pierce appeared to be in great shape. Parviz saw the eight as the door card and walked away from the table, without realizing a set had been hit. However, the turn came the {8-Spades}, which appeared to be of no help for Parviz, until the {A-Hearts} on the river to give Parviz a running full house to best Pierce's full house.

Parviz was quite shocked, and relieved when he returned.
