Drew Oconnell Eliminated in 8th Place ($32,640)
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Two time WSOP bracelet winner Drew Oconnell opened to 240,000 from middle position, and was met with resistance from cutoff Michael Rossitto, who put in a three-bet to 520,000. When action was back onto Oconnell, he was beaten into the pot by Rossitto as he put all of his chips at risk.
Drew Oconnell: A♦J♦ 
Michael Rossitto: A♥A♣
Oconnell found himself completely up against it preflop, and even more so on the 7♣8♠2♥ flop, as he was in need of running jacks or a running straight. The case A♠ was dealt on the turn, meaning the 8♣ on the river made no difference to the outcome of the hand, as Oconnell became second to leave the final table.
