Jesse Okonczak Eliminated in 8th Place ($24,771)

Level 30 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Jesse Okonczak - 8th place
Jesse Okonczak - 8th place

First in from the small blind, Jesse Okonczak shoved his ~630,000 chips into the middle. That's never fun when the big stack is the only player left to act, and John Riordan made the call with a chance at the knockout. He'd soon find out that he had the at-risk player crushed.

Showdown
Okonczak: {Q-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}
Riordan: {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

The {5-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} flop at least gave Okonczak a sweat as he picked up the gutterball to try and chase down a wheel. The turn {J-Diamonds} was a blank, however, and so was the {9-Clubs} river. The queen-three falls, and so does Jesse Okonczak, eliminated in 8th place. He'll be rewarded with a consolation prize of nearly $25,000.
