James Mackey raised to 140,000 from under the gun and Eric Beller three-bet to 450,000 from the hijack. John Gordon called from the small blind and Mackey folded.

The flop was 5h2h2d and Gordon checked. Beller moved all in for effectively Gordon’s remaining 2,250,000.

Gordon called and showed KdKc, but he was in bad shape against Beller’s AdAc.

“How do you have that hand?” asked Gordon. “How do you just jam? How do you not just bet that hand?”

Beller doesn’t respond and his hand held up with the Qs on the turn and the 6s on the river. Gordon was eliminated in ninth place and took home $64,636. Beller takes the chip lead with the pot.

Eric Beller – 11,200,000 (186 bb)
John Gordon – Eliminated
