William Erickson - 8th Place

William Erickson opened all in for 228,000 from early position. Action passed to perpetual tanker Jorg Peisert in the small blind. He didn't tank this time; he snap-called with {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

and saw that he had to fade an ace against Erickson's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

. Fade it he did, on a board of {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

{k-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

.

Erickson becomes the eighth-place finisher and the first player to be eliminated in four hours -- though to be fair, we were on dinner break for an hour.
