Daniel Myers Eliminated in 13th Place (€89,550)
After taking his 20,000 to 90,000, Daniel Myers put in his one big blind stack from early position. Harry Lodge called from the small blind and Marius-Catalin Pertea checked his option in the big blind.
Myers appeared very relaxed after the J♠8♣3♠ flop, chatting to Mitch Hynam and Carl Shaw on the rail. The blinds checked, and did the same on the 7♣ turn and 2♠ river.
"The toppest of pairs," said Myers, as he tabled Q♥J♣. Lodge sent his K♦5♦ into the muck and Pertea did the same with his Q♣9♦.
The following hand, Myers wagered his stack of 370,000. The action folded to Andrew Hulme in the big blind, and he called to put the Liverpudlian at risk.
Daniel Myers: A♦8♥
Andrew Hulme: Q♦J♦
Myers was looking to pull off "the greatest comeback in PokerStars history," and it appeared he would be on his way to do that after the K♥5♣2♣ flop and 6♥ turn. However, the Q♠ completed the board and gave Hulme a pair of queens to seal the checkmark and elimination.
