Justin St. John Eliminated

Justin St. John
Justin St. John
There was already 130,000 in the pot prior to the {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {2-Spades} flop and Justin St. John moved all in for his last 247,000 from the small blind. Chris Crilly called and it turned out that his {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} still held the lead against Crilly's {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. The {Q-Spades} on the turn gave St. John a few more outs as a king on the river would've counterfeited Crilly's pair, but the {6-Spades} fell on the river that brought an ended to Pittsburgher Justin St. John's Main Event run.
