Chad Patterson Eliminated in 11th Place ($4,189)

Chad Patterson - out in 11th place ($4,189)
Chad Patterson - out in 11th place ($4,189)

Shortly after doubling up, Chad Patterson found himself in a hand against Chiab Saechao. We caught up on the flop, which read {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Patterson checked from the hi-jack position. Saechao checked behind from the cutoff.

The turn brought a {4-Spades} and Patterson checked again, prompting a 25,000 bet from Saechao. Patterson made the call.

The river fell the {7-Clubs} and Patterson checked one more time. Saechao quickly announced he was all in for about 62,000. Patterson fell deep into the tank and mulled over his decision for about five minutes. He finally announced call and Saechao triumphantly flipped over {A-Spades}{9-Spades} for flopped trips. Patterson held {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for two-pair.

With just 7,000 remaining, Patterson was in the big blind the very next hand. Action folded around to Nicolas Vaca-Rondon in the small blind, who raised enough to put Patterson all in. Patterson called off his remaining 1,000.

Patterson: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Vaca-Rondon: {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop kept Patterson in the lead, however, a {6-Clubs} landed on the turn, giving Vaca=Rondon a straight and leaving Patterson drawing dead. A meaningless {J-Diamonds} fell on the river and Patterson was eliminated in 11th place.
