Not Fair!

Ryan Fair was all in and at risk for his last 60,000 chips preflop with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} against the {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} of Michael Rocco.

The dealer rapped the table, burned one card, dealt three cards face down, and turned them over exposing the {q-Spades} in the window followed by the {j-Diamonds} and the {8-Hearts}! Fair was still alive, but needed a lot of help. He was officially drawing dead once the {7-Spades} turned, making the river ({a-Spades}) a meaningless card. Fair was eliminated from the tournament.

With 79 players remaining, we are now in hand-for-hand play.
