Gerald Timmons Eliminated in 9th Place ($19,655)

Level 30 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Gerald Timmons - 9th place
Gerald Timmons - 9th place

In early position, Thomas Aprea limped in, and the table passed around to the blinds. In the small, Gerald Timmons raised all in for 270,000 total. Next door in the big, Mike Morton made the call, and Aprea called the extra amount to create live action going to the flop.

It came {3-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {J}, and Morton check-folded to an Aprea bet. It was time to see the cards:

Aprea: {A-} {J-}
Timmons: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

Timmons was well ahead with his overpair, two cards from the triple up. The turn {6-Spades} was a blank, but the river would be the last card of Timmons' day. The unlucky {J-Diamonds} peeled off on fifth street, and Timmons could only nod in acknowledgement. He wished his table luck as he headed off to the payout desk in 9th place, good enough to earn him $19,655.

Aprea is now just over 3.4 million, and he appears to have just pipped into the chip lead with that knockout.
