Braband Crippled; Eliminated in 17th Place ($27,029)

Danny Illingworth raised to 35,000 from the small blind and Tom Braband made the call from the big blind.

On a flop of {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, Illingworth led for 64,000 and Braband raised to 200,000. Illingworth shoved for a total of 352,000 and Braband called again.

Illingworth: {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Braband: {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

When the turn came {6-Hearts} and the river came {8-Hearts}, Braband couldn't complete either of his draws and fell to just 100,000. Illingworth climbed to 800,000.

On the next hand, Braband got his remaining stack in the middle with {8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} vs. Isaac Baron's {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Again, Braband couldn't improve and he was eliminated in 17th spot.
