Roger Teska Eliminated

Roger Teska started the day 1st in the counts of the 146 remaining players. He's now out with six tables left in the tournament. In a hand that went five minutes into the break, Teska and Russell Thomas got it all in on a board of {a-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Hearts}. Thomas tabled a set, {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}. Teska was drawing very, very slim with {8-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} but Thomas was still worried.

"Do NOT do this to me. Jesus Christ!" he said. The poker gods didn't "do it" to him. The river blanked {k-Spades}. The stacks were counted down; Thomas had Teska covered.
