Kevin Gerhart Eliminated in 8th Place ($7,602)

Matt Hansen

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 36,000 ante

Dario Sammartino raised to 60,000 and Kevin Gerhart moved most of his stack of around 200,000 to the middle, leaving 25,000 behind. Rep Porter four-bet shoved for more than 600,000 and Sammartino got out of the way.

Gerhart called the last of his stack and drew one. Porter was pat.

Gerhart was live but he turned over and Porter's eight-six was good to knock Gerhart out of the tournament in eighth place.
