Givens Spikes the Turn to Eliminate Ellis

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

With around 50,000 in the pot and a flop of {5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, Chris Ellis moved all in for 71,000 from the big blind and the under-the-gun player folded. William Givens then called from the cutoff and discovered the bad news.

Ellis: {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Givens: {k-Spades}{7-Spades}

Both players had flopped top pair, but Givens had kicker problems. Much to the dismay for Ellis, the {7-Clubs} spiked on the turn to pair Givens' kicker. The {9-Spades} river was no help to Ellis, and he collected his things before heading for the door.
