Rheem:
Eastgate:
Rheem is in an excellent position to double up, having Eastgate dominated preflop. All that changes when the flop comes
. Now Eastgate is the one who has Rheem dominated. Rheem needs a king or running cards to stay alive in this tournament. He doesn't get any help with the 
; he's down to his last three outs on the river. He can't find any of them. The river is the 
to send Rheem out of the tournament in seventh place. He graciously offers a handshake and a hug to each of the remaining players at the table.Rheem has nothing to be ashamed of; his efforts in the Main Event have earned him $1,772,650.

Ylon Schwartz 20,425,000
Scott Montgomery 18,150,000
Darus Suharto 9,400,000
Eastgate, who got this all started, decides he wants nothing more to do with it and release his hand. Dennis Phillips, on the other hand, appears to have another decision to make. That decision is made after a minute; he folds and taps the felt "good hand" in Montgomery's direction.
