John Purdy Eliminated in 6th Place ($2,500)
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Gregg Bloom raised to 225,000 in the hijack with A♠J♣ and was met with an all-in bet of 765,000 from John Purdy, holding 10♦10♣.
Bloom thought briefly and then called.
The flop came 8♣8♦8♥, bringing Purdy a full house. The turn was then 3♥, changing nothing, but the A♦ on the river drilled Bloom, giving him a better full house to take the pot and the chip lead while sending Purdy to the rail in 6th place.
