Philippe Plouffe Eliminated in 8th Place ($202,000)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

When are feed came in, Chris Oliver limped in with {k-}{j-} and Sam Stein raised with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} to attack the limp. Behind him, Philippe Plouffe moved all in with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Oliver folded and Stein made the call.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Stein was still behind the queens of his all-in opponent. The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and Stein still needed an ace or a king on the river. He couldn't hit a queen for a straight because Plouffe would hit a full house.

The river smashed the felt with the {A-Diamonds} and nailed Stein's hand. The crowd left out a roar and applauding followed as Plouffe shook the hands of his opponents. He was eliminated in eighth place for $202,000. Stein moved up to second in chips with 7.9 million.
