Jacob Gagnon Eliminated in 7th Place ($245,000)
Level 41
: 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Jacob Gagnon opened jammed to 10,000,000 on the button and Bradley Gafford moved all in for 16,500,000 from the small blind, putting Gagnon at risk. The big blind folded and the pair looked to the board for the runout.
Jacob Gagnon: A♥5♦
Bradley Gafford: A♣Q♣
Gagnon picked up a pair of fives on the 7♠2♥5♥ flop but the A♦ on the turn saw Gafford also gain some more outs.
Gaffords rail were shouting for a "Seven, seven!" to come on the turn so that Gaffords queen kicker played, and the dealer peeled the 7♦ river card.
It was a brutal end of the road for Gagnon as the seven completer saw him eliminated in seventh place, but he had more than tripled his recorded lifetime earning from the payout, as he took home $245,000.
