Jonathan Little Eliminated in 8th Place ($38,940)

Jonathan Little - 8th Place

On the very next hand...

The action folded around to the blinds where Jonathan Little moved all in for somewhere around 400,000 with just one opponent to dodge. Big blind Thomas Bichon peeked at his cards, raised his eyebrows and confidently said, "I call," Little's tournament life now in immediate jeopardy.

Showdown
Little: {K-Hearts} {9-Spades}
Bichon: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

The flop would come {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {6-Clubs} to pair up Bichon but add a gutshot straight draw for the at-risk Little. The turn was a useless {4-Spades} though, and the {7-Spades} that filled out the board did nothing to improve him either. Bichon takes the pot with his pair of queens, knocking off the dangerous American in 8th place. For his efforts over the past week, Little will pocket $38,940.
