Michael Esposito Eliminated in 30th Place ($6,441)

Michael Esposito has just been eliminated from the tournament by Blair Hinkle. Blair opened the pot with an 8,000 raise and was called by both Esposito and Thomas Hover.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Michael led out with a 15,000 bet. Hover folded and when the action fell to Blair he put in a raise, making it 30,000 to go. Esposito then moved all in over the top of Blair's min-raise and Blair made the call, tabling {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}; Michael showed the {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Needing a nine or an ace to chop the pot and stay alive, Esposito watched the board run out {10-Spades}, {2-Spades} ending his hopes of reaching the final table.

Michael walked away with $6,441 in prize money for his 30th place finish.
