649 Left, One Away from Money

Here's one of those two eliminations from the last hand.

With the board showing {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}, Kevin Schaffel shoved all in from early position, and the action was on Mike Carlson in the cutoff. Schaffel had Carlson covered, so Carlson's tourney life was at risk.

Finally Carlson made the call, and Schaffel turned over {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for the nut flush. Carlson mucked, and we are down to 649 players.

One more elimination until the money! Tension is high!
