Cory Albertson Eliminated in 22nd Place ($8,064)

If you were searching for proof of the volatility of Omaha, then look no further than Cory Albertson. It seems like only moments ago that I was reporting him as being one of the top five chip leaders, and now, inside the level, he finds himself heading towards the rail with a disappointing $8.064 in his pocket.

In the end, it was previous nemesis Christian Harder who picked up the pieces, Albertson moving all in preflop with {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and being looked up by Harder's {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. The {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{J-Clubs} flop provided a glimmer of hope, but any rays of hope were quickly distinguished on an anti-climatic {3-Clubs} turn and {9-Spades} river.

Harder is now on 295 and although stoic on the surface, will surely be turning cartwheels on the inside. A debut WSOP final table beckons.
