Joe De Niro made it two bets to go preflop and was called by Matt Graham and Brandon Wong. Wong was all in with the call. Matt Graham bet De Niro out the pot on the flop.

Wong: {A-Clubs} {2-Spades}
Graham: {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

Board: {2-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {10-Spades} {5-Spades} {K-Spades}

Graham's eights are good enough to send Brandon Wong home in fourth place. Wong will take home $69,088 for his efforts.
