David Crafti Eliminated in 14th Place ($55,800)
Level 42
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
David Crafti limped from under the gun, which left him just 1,000,000 behind. Matthew Higgins in the next seat called, as did Brian Smith in late position, Vinay Boob in the small blind, and Vincent Lavollee in the big blind.
The flop came Q♣J♠8♥, and it was checked to Higgins, who bet out for 5,500,000. Smith made the call, but Vinay and Lavollee folded. Crafti tossed in his last 1,000,000 to call.
The active players checked down the 3♦ turn and 5♦ river with Crafti tabling K♠2♦ for king-high, but Higgins tabled J♣10♦ for a pair of Jacks. Smith tabled 9♣5♣ for a pair of fives, but Higgins was pushed the pot, while Crafti was sent to the rail in 14th place.
