Thomas Hover Eliminated in 7th ($64,408)

Samson after the winning realization
Samson after the winning realization
After a Kelly Samson raise to 50,000, Thomas Hover moved all-in and showed {Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} to Samson's {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}. The pre-flop showdown saw little fireworks when the flop came {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. However, the turn brought some drama in the form of the {8-Hearts}. The river was full of excitement as it fell {7-Hearts}. After the announcer saw the flush and announced Hover's hand, Samson thought he had lost until realizing (with help from the crowd) he had filled up on the river to take the hand. As the dealer pushed Samson the pot he replied, "I'm glad these people around here know what they're doing because I wouldn't have seen that in a million years."
