Jason Somerville Eliminated in 69th Place ($106,056)

Jason Somerville got lucky not long ago when his nines cracked Eric Buchman's tens in an all-in preflop situation, but it seemed lady luck has turned her back. In a recent hand, Somerville raised to 105,000 from middle position only to have Jacob Balsiger move all in from the big blind. Somerville quickly called off for 840,000 and was a big favorite.

Showdown
Somerville: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Balsiger: {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Unfortunately for Somerville, the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} and gave Balsiger trips. Somerville needed a queen to stay alive, but it was not to be as the {3-Hearts} appeared on the turn followed by the {8-Spades} on the river.

Somerville, who finished in 69th place for $106,056, did a quick exit interview with Kara Scott in which he was humble, gracious and reiterated that he had a great time.
