Tom Hanlon Eliminated

Tom Hanlon - Eliminated
Tom Hanlon - Eliminated
Gus Hansen opened for a raise to 18,000 and Tom Hanlon reraised all in for 116,000 total. Hansen made the call and the players showed:

Hansen: {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Hanlon: {A-Clubs} {J-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} {J-Clubs} and Hansen's pair of kings was best. He eliminated Hanlon from the tournament and chipped up to about 830,000 in the process.
