Brenton Duda Eliminated in 14th Place ($12,750)
Level 37
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Brenton Duda moved all in for his final 9,000,000 from the cutoff. Action folded to big blind David Hirst, who stuck in a call.
Brenton Duda: Q♦9♠
David Hirst: A♦Q♠
Hirst was comfortably in the lead, but his opponent picked up outs on the Q♣8♥J♣ flop, with a gutshot straight draw as well as some backdoor chopportunity.
The 3♠ turn removed those chop outs, meaning Duda needed just a nine or ten to scoop. The 8♦ was close but not close enough, as Hirst gratefully received his opponents chips.
