Matthew Kearney Eliminated in 15th Place ($41,295)

Matthew Kearney raised to 60,000 from under the gun. Next to act was Jeff Wiedenhoeft, and he moved all in for 130,000 total. Aaron Coulthard, who had both men well covered, came over the top for all his chips. Action folded back around to Kearney, who made the call. The players showed:

Kearney: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Wiedenhoeft: {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Coulthard: {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

There was a side pot between Coulthard and Kearney, with Wiedenhoeft looking to triple up. The board came {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} and Wiedenhoeft's full house was best. Coulthard took down the side pot with his Broadway straight and Kearney was eliminated in 15th place. He'll take home $41,295 for his impressive finish.
