Hyman Broken -- Zach Hyman Eliminated in 12th Place ($64,477)

It started out innocently enough for Zach Hyman. Action folded to him in late position, and he put in a raise to 85,000. Only the small blind, Blake Cahail, called the raise.

Cahail checked the {2-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {8-Spades} flop to Hyman, who made a large continuation bet of 215,000. Cahail check-raised all in for more than a million chips. Hyman had only 650,000 behind. He spent three minutes in the tank before calling all in with {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. Cahail turned over {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} for a very craftily played pair of aces. The turn {7-Clubs} and river {K-Hearts} were no help to Hyman. He's been eliminated in 12th place, earning $64,477.

Cahail now has 2.85 million in chips.
