Laura Desantis Eliminated in 14th Place ($8,697)

In the very first hand over on the secondary feature table, Laura Desantis open-shoved from the hijack but was quickly called by Valerie McColligan. All the others got out of the way before the cards were tabled:

Desantis: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}
McColligan: {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Even though Desantis was in the lead, it was relinquished to McColligan after the flop of {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The repeat {7-Diamonds} on the turn improved McColligan to two pair, which held up after the {8-Hearts} blanked out on the river.

And just like that, we're down to 13 players! McColligan is now the first player to move past the half-million chip mark.
