Chamath Palihapitiya Eliminated in 11th Place ($53,728)

Chamath Palihapitiya - 11th place
Chamath Palihapitiya - 11th place

Derek Gregory opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Chamath Palihapitiya called from the cutoff seat. Amir Lehavot also called from the big blind for a three-way pot.

All three players checked the {8-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Spades} flop.

However, when the {2-Hearts} fell on the turn, Lehavot checked again, prompting a 90,000 bet from Gregory. Palihapitiya then pushed all in for his last 275,000. Lehavot folded and action was back on Gregory, who tanked for a good three minutes before eventually calling.

Gregory: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a pair of deuces.
Palihapitiya: {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a flush draw and inside straight draw.

Palihapitiya had outs, however, the {8-Spades} river bricked for him and he was eliminated in 11th place.
