Aaron Gustavson - 9th place
Aaron Gustavson - 9th place

The action folded round to Aaron Gustavson, and he pushed his last 440,000 into the pot. With Niccolo Caramatti in the big blind, he sweated his cards and then quickly flipped them over while announcing "call!"

Gustavson: {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Caramatti: {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

As everyone in the crowd rose to their feet, the dealer dropped a {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop to keep Caramatti in the lead.

As calls for queens and jacks were bellowed by the rail, the {10-Diamonds} landed on the turn to now give Gustavson outs to a straight.

Unfortunately however the {3-Diamonds} landed on the river to send Gustavson to the rail in 9th place earning himself $44,856 as Caramatti climbs to 2,530,000 in chips.

The river brought the {j-Diamonds}, to which Johnson tried the same bet again. It was 105,000 to Hamrick. Hamrick thought about it for a moment before raising, and making it 425,000 to go. Johnson promptly folded his hand.
