Aaron Keay - 49th Place
Peter Eastgate opened for a raise to 120,000 from early position. Brandon Cantu called from the cutoff seat and when action hit Aaron Keay in the big blind, he pushed all in for 285,000. Eastgate opted to reraise, and made it 570,000 to play. Cantu moved all in for 5,800,000 and Eastgate decided to throw his hand away. The players showed:

Cantu: {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}
Keay: {5-Spades} {5-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Spades} {9-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} and Keay was eliminated in 49th place. Cantu chipped up to about 6,800,000 on the hand while Eastgate was left with 2,700,000 chips.
