Alcober Eliminated

Benjamin Alcober, who was the first player to reach a million chips on Day 3, has been eliminated from the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event by Nicholas Abourisk.

All the money went in preflop, and Alcober's {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} led Abourisk's {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, but the flop fell {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Alcober couldn't find a king on the turn ({10-Hearts}) or the river ({9-Hearts}), and was eliminated from the tournament.
