Demarco Howard Eliminated in 20th Place ($39,180)
George Tatalovich opened to 6,000,000 from the hijack and Demarco Howard shoved from the button for 9,775,000. Daniel Westphal was in the small blind and after getting the count, he shoved for 24,500,000. Tatalovich didn't need too long to think before he made the call, which put two players at risk.
Demarco Howard: 7♣7♥ 
Daniel Westphal K♠K♥
George Tatalovich: A♦Q♣
Howard had picked up sevens and ran with it, but Westphal had the Cowboys behind and was looking to more than double up. Tatalovich had a chance to eliminate two players in one swift motion, but didn't get any closer to doing so on the 5♣5♥3♥ flop.
A 5♠ on the turn gave both Howard and Westphal a full house, but also gave Tatalovich an extra out as he could make quads with an ace-kicker if a five hit the river. Instead, a 9♠ rolled off, meaning Westphal scooped and Howard was out in 20th.
