Rivered Boat Not Enough For Tubaugh Against Melius

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Brian Tubaugh bet 8,000 from the big blind on a board of Q♦J♠K♥8♥ before Barth Melius raised enough in early position to put Tubaugh all in. Tubaugh tanked for a few minutes before calling for his last 20,000.

Tubaugh showed K♠8♦ for two pair, but Melius had Q♥Q♠ for a set. Several players at the table reacted when the 8♣ came on the river to give Tubaugh a full house, but Melius had improved to queens and eights to win the pot.

"I needed the king only. Good game, guys," Tubaugh said on his way to the rail.

Ethan "Rampage" Yau and 2014 Main Event champion Martin Jacobson were also recently eliminated.
