Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul Eliminated

A player in the high-jack seat raised to 425 and the button made the call. Down to his last 1,400, Kevin Saul pushed all in from the big blind. The original player folded his hand and the button called with pocket eights. Saul showed {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, giving Saul the lead with a pair of jacks.

The turn was a blank in the the {Q-Diamonds}, however, the river brought one of the two remaining eights in the deck, eliminating Saul from the tournament.
