"The Best I've Ever Run in a Tournament"

Amnon Filippi got his short stack all in preflop against Mike McDonald, who happens to be our chip leader.

Filippi: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
McDonald: {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Filippi was ahead with his aces, but the {J-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades} flop quickly changed that by giving McDonald a straight. The {9-Clubs} turn and {6-Clubs} river improved him to a flush, but the result was the same . . . Filippi was eliminated.

"This is the best I've ever run in a tournament," McDonald said after the hand. "And I run good all the time."

Meanwhile, a short-stacked Scott Seiver was also sent to the rail.
