James Slabon Eliminated in 26th Place ($18,353)

Kevin DeTienne raised it up preflop and action folded around to William Thomson in the small blind. Thomson three-bet all in and DeTienne took his time to think about whether or not he wanted to make the call. Eventually DeTienne convinced himself he had the best of it and made the call.

DeTienne: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Slabon: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} giving DeTienne a set of tens, but a {j-Hearts} on the turn gave Slabon the straight. Slabon then got up celebrating, and a {10-Hearts} fell on the river giving DeTienne quads.
