Whitney Blanton Eliminated

A few hands after doubling up against Adam Zinn, Whitney Blanton again moved all in and was called by Sarkis Akopyan. Blanton held {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} to Akapyan's {A-Spades} {J-Spades} and took the lead from Sarkis when the flop came {10-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. But the turn brought the {Q-Spades}, giving Akopyan the straight and leaving Whitney needing a king or queen for the full house. But the {4-Hearts} fell on the river and Blanton's Main Event came to an end.
