Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Clayton Wilson opened in middle position and saw Chris Ellis re-jam for around 140,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to Wilson and he called.

Chris Ellis:
Clayton Wilson:

"Can I have the (payout) card?" asked Ellis to the nearby floorman. The flop gave him some hope.

"Well, that's about as good of a flop as I can ask for," Ellis said, but he watched the turn and river leave him dry and spell his elimination from the tournament as a result.
