Tom Sheets Eliminated in 14th Place ($10,092)

Tom Sheets - 14th Place
Tom Sheets - 14th Place
Under the gun, Alex Bolotin came in with a raise to 33,000. Next door, John Nixon reraised all in. When the betting came around to Tom Sheets, he called off his last 89,500 chips, putting himself at risk of elimination. That was enough to get Bolotin to fold what he would later say was {6-?} {7-?}. With the betting closed, the hands were turned up.

Showdown:
Nixon: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Sheets: {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

The board was a big dry desert, coming {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {5-Clubs}. Nixon's ace-high was the top hand, and he collected all of his opponent's chips. He is all the way up to 250,000, ousting Tom Sheets in 14th place.
