William McMahan - 9th Place

Well, we finally found our first river card. Tommy Vedes opened with another raise, this time to 36,000. McMahan reraised pot from the small blind, another 84,000 on top. Vedes responded by sliding several stacks of chips out, another reraise was enough to set McMahan all in. McMahan called and the cards were on their backs.

McMahan: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

Vedes:

{A-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

McMahan had to like his chances -- but only until the flop came down {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

. With no low draw in his hand, McMahan needed to catch a miracle turn or river. Instead the turn {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

and river

{J-Clubs}

sent him home early.

Vedes now has about 525,000 chips.
