Drew Gonzalez Eliminated in 8th Place ($16,790)
Level 16
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
After Kevin Eyster opened to 160,000, Drew Gonzalez moved all in for 650,000. The action folded back around to Eyster who thought for a second before making the call to put him at risk.
Drew Gonzalez: J♥J♦
Kevin Eyster: A♥6♥
Gonzalez was a favorite to double up in this spot, but the flop of 2♦A♠5♣ provided Eyster with an ace to take the lead.
The runout of 4♣3♥ gave both players a straight on the river, and the table thought they chopped it, but Eyster held the six for the bigger straight to take the pot, eliminating Gonzalez in 8th place.
