Robert Morris

Robert Morris was all in from the hijack for 500,000 with AsJs, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the 2d2c of Martin Culotta in the small blind.

The board came KhQc5h4d8d, and Morris flopped a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Culotta won the pot with his pocket deuces to eliminate Morris in 23rd place.
