Matt Ross Eliminated in 7th Place ($41,470)

Matt Ross - 7th Place

First into the pot from the button, Matt "cwp394" Ross open-shoved for his last 237,000. Chase Steely asked for a count before folding his small blind, but big blind Jose Santos sat staring at Ross for a few seconds before even checking his cards. When he did finally look down, he snap-called to put Ross at risk.

Santos smacked his {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} down on the felt and immediately began celebrating. Ross was in a good spot though, racing for his double up with {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}.

Trouble came right in the door, though, as the {A-Clubs} was the first card revealed. In the end, the board ran out {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}, signaling the end of Matt Ross' day.

Ross put on a good show here this week, and he'll be rewarded with $41,470 for his efforts.
