Darren Nelson Eliminated in 17th Place ($25,301)

In a battle of the blinds Gabe Costner raised it to 50,000 from the small blind before Darren Nelson moved all in for 120,000 in total from the big blind. Costner made the call.

Costner: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Nelson: {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Nelson's dominated hand drew some life on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs} but the {4-Hearts} on the turn and {2-Clubs} on the river left him heading for the exit in 17th place for $25,301 in prize money.
