Michael Harrison-Ford Eliminated in 14th Place (AU$6,579)

Michael Harrison-Ford - 14th Place
It was a clear and present danger for Michael Harrison-Ford when Nir Peer open-shoved from middle position for 78,000. Harrison-Ford made the call out of the big blind anyway, showing down {A-Clubs} {6-Spades}. Imagine his surprise when Peer turned over {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}. Harrison-Ford was not able to pull out the suck-out. That hand left him crippled with a mere 33,000 chips.

He moved all in from the small blind the very next hand after everyone else had folded. Dean Blatt called from the big blind with {Q-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, a hand that was ahead of Harrison-Ford's "hammer," {7-Clubs} {2-Hearts}. Blatt hit a queen right away, winning the hand with a board of {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts}.

Harrison-Ford fell just short of the final table, but can console himself with AU$6,579 in prize money.
