Jordan Westmorland - 17th Place

Jordan Westmorland had the button. He moved all in for his last 35,000 only to be called by Jason Lee from the big blind.

Westmorland showed {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and was up against the {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} of Jason Lee. Lee jumped out to the lead by pairing his king on the {K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop and suddenly Westmorland was hunting for an ace to stay alive. He did not find it on the {4-Spades} turn and the {J-Spades} river ensured he would hit the rail in 17th place.
