Gary Bolden Eliminated in 8th Place ($44,574)
Level 24
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Gary Bolden has been knocked out following two hands in which he lost first to Steve Gross, then to Nader Arfai.
In the first, Bolden raised to 50,000 from the button and Steve Gross called from the big blind. They checked the 
flop, then Gross bet 35,000 on the 
turn and Bolden called. The river then brought the 
and a bet of 61,000, and after tanking for three minutes Bolden called.
Gross showed 
for aces and kings, and Bolden mucked, leaving himself about 170,000 behind.
Soon after Bolden was all in before the flop with 
against Nader's 
, and when the board ran out 
, Nader's trip tens sent Bolden out in eighth.
There will be a short delay as they redraw for the seven-handed not-quite-final final table.
