James Gilbert Eliminated in 16th Place ($55,800)
James Gilbert moved all in from under the gun for 19,000,000 and Wanda Hallman reshoved from middle position for 17,500,000. With no other takers, the two players went to a showdown.
Wanda Hallman: K♠Q♠
James Gilbert: J♦J♥
The board ran out 8♥7♦K♣8♠Q♣, giving Hallman two pair, kings and queens, to secure the double-up and leave Gilbert with just crumbs.
In the very next hand, Gilbert was automatically all in from the big blind for his last 1,500,000. Leo Lombardozzi opened under the gun to 6,000,000 and found a caller in Dominik Panka.
When the flop came A♠K♥8♥, Lombardozzi continued for 5,000,000, but it was not Panka’s flop as he quickly mucked his cards.
James Gilbert: 6♠4♠
Leo Lombardozzi: A♥J♥
The turn brought the 7♦, giving Gilbert a few extra outs, but the 5♥ on the river completed his straight while also improving Lombardozzi to a flush, sending Gilbert to the rail.
