Danny Gonzales Eliminated in 2nd Place ($28,790)

Danny Gonzales opened to 30,000 in the small blind and Matt Livingston piled in all of his chips, putting Gonzales to a decision for his tournament life.

"Wow, this is the first decision in either direction that hasn't been a snap-," said Livingston.

After another 10 seconds, Gonzales dropped the chips that were in his hand into the pot.

Livingston shrugged in a way of giving credit to Gonzales upon seeing that he got it in bad. The flop came to give Livingston outs at both the nut flush and a straight. The turn brought Livingston a six-high straight, leaving Gonzales to one of the only two non-spade sixes left in the deck to chop. He was unable to hit as the river fell and the two shook hands as the tournament came to an end with Gonzales finishing in second place, earning a payday of $28,790 in the process.
