Jay "Seabeast" Kinkade De-Beasted ($1,628)

In a shocking turn of events, Jay Kinkade has just been eliminated from the tournament by Vito Montalto!

Action folded around to Kinkade on the button and he opted to open-shove all in for approximately 84,000 in chips. Gursel Ali folded his small blind and Montalto made the call from the big holding {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts}; Kinkade tabled two red sixes.

The first three cards off the deck were pretty harmless: {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, but it was only after the flop was spread that the drama kicked in. Dealer Dane Jensen burned and turned the {6-Clubs}, which drew an "Oh, wow!" from Marwin Nassif.

Then, the river came...the {9-Clubs}. Another "Oh, wow!" spewed from the lips of Nassif, and Montalto clapped his hands together in victory, as he'd made the nut flush.

Montalto had Kinkade covered by a few thousand chips and therefore earned the entire lot. If he hangs on to them, Montalto should enter tomorrow's final table as one of its biggest stacks.

After shaking Montalto's hand, Kinkade removed his PokerNews Bounty Lanyard and handed it over to his executioner.

"Hey, hey -- I got a bonus!" Montalto exclaimed.
