Timothy Hicks Eliminated in 8th Place ($9,283)
After a raise preflop from Jeremy Drewery and a call from Timothy Hicks, the two players went to the flop of 5♣K♠7♥. Hicks then decided to lead out and Drewery called to see the turn 8♥.
Hicks checked, Drewery bet 130,000, Hicks check-raised to 350,000, and Drewery called.
On the river 9♥, Hicks moved all in for 1,375,000 and Drewery went into the tank.
After close to 30 seconds, he slid out a stack to make the call, putting Hicks at risk.
Hicks did not look too happy at this call and tossed out his cards to show A♣5♥ for just a pair of fives while Drewery tabled 8♠8♦ for a turned set of eights.
"Nice call," Hicks along with rest of the table said as Hicks was eliminated in 8th place and Drewery was shipped the huge pot to make him the new chip leader.
