David Patent has been eliminated by the unstoppable force that is Hoai Pham.
Patent got his short stack in pre-flop with Pham and the hands were opened:
Pham:
Patent:
The flop pushed Patent ahead, and the changed nothing because of the paired board. Dozens of spectators were crowded around the table in anticipation and they all jolted when the dealer spiked the on the river.
"I GOT IT!!!!" Pham screamed at the top of his longs.
Patent stared at the board for a moment before shaking Phams hand and retreating from the table. Pham is on a heater to end all heaters, sitting with 470,000 chips.
The remaining ten players have combined to one table. With one more elimination we will have our official final table. Here are the current seating positions:
Seat 1: Christopher Reider
Seat 2: Arthur Vea

Seat 4: Yuta Motoyama
Seat 5: Jeffrey Bennett
Seat 6: Hoai Pham
Seat 7: Patrick Silvey

Jonathan Kotula open-shoved from middle position and action folded to Hoai Pham in the big blind. Pham tanked momentarily before finally surrendering his blind.
