Yehuda Buchalter Eliminated in 11th Place ($15,304)
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Christopher Vitch limped in from the cutoff, Yehuda Buchalter called in the small blind and Marco Johnson checked in the big blind.
The flop came K♠10♥8♠. Buchalter checked, Johnson bet 180,000 and Vitch responded with a pot-sized raise. Buchalter shoved for a bit more, Johnson folded and Vitch called with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Yehuda Buchalter: J♥10♦8♥8♣
Christopher Vitch: K♥K♣7♠3♣
Buchalter was drawing thin with bottom set versus Vitch's top set. He found no help on the J♣3♥ runout and he became the first player to be sent to the rail today.
