Landfish Belly Up

After Brandon Cantu raised to 27,000 from early position, Steven Landfish moved all in. He was immediately called by his nemesis, Jeffrey Papola from the small blind. Cantu got out of the way and let the two players go at it a second time, this time with Landfish at danger of elimination.

Landfish: {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}
Papola: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Landfish was behind, but he had what every poker player refers to as "two live cards." Neither player hit the board, though, when it came {6-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} {8-Diamonds}. That completed Landfish's Main Event; he is out.
