John Reese got the last of his chips into the middle on third street against Mark Hurst. Hurst showed ace-high and three cards to a low and was up against Reese’s split deuces.

On fourth, Reese caught a king and Hurst hit a five, which gave him four cards to a low. On fifth Reese hits a ten and Hurst pairs his eight to take the lead.

“I’m in bad shape now,” said Reese.

On sixth, Reese hit a seven, which bricks him and Hurst caught a king.

“I need a deuce,” said Reese.

Hurst flipped up his river first and showed the 8c, which gave him trip eights and left Reese drawing dead. Hurst dragged the pot and Reese was eliminated in ninth place. He took home $624 and the final eight players are credited with making an official final table.

Mark Hurst – 60,000 (6 BB)
