Mickey Petersen Eliminated in 15th Place ($27,000)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mickey Petersen

From late position, Mickey Petersen announced that he was all in for 355,000. Action folded to Steven Merrifield in the cutoff who announced all in over the top. The rest of the players at the table folded and the cards were exposed:

Petersen: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Merrifield: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Merrifield was ahead preflop and had Petersen just about dead on the flop when it fell {10-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. The deal was sealed when the {A-Hearts} hit the turn, filling Merrifield up. Petersen stuck around long enough to see the irrelevant river of {A-Diamonds}. He will be awarded $27,000 in tournament winnings.
