David Patent Eliminated in 11th Place

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: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Patent: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop pushed Patent ahead, and the {3-Clubs} 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 {Q-Clubs} 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.
