Kenneth Terrell Eliminated in 4th Place ($232,702)

We finally had two big hands collide, and Kenneth Terrell took the worse for the collision. After Vitaly Lunkin raised the button to 200,000, Terrell peeked down at {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} in the small blind and shoved all in for about 1,000,000. Lunkin quickly made the call with {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}.

Despite legions of fans shouting out for an ace, Terrell got no help when the flop came down {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. The {K-Hearts} on the turn made things a bit more interesting; Terrell could win the hand with an ace or a ten. The river, however, was a meaningless {2-Diamonds} and Lunkin's jacks held up.

Terrell played admirably, being short the whole days but surviving all the way to fourth place. He collects $232,702 for that display of skill.
