Ryan Austin Eliminated in 8th Place ($32,608); Kyle Cartwright Eliminated in 9th Place ($25,041)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Ryan Austin
Ryan Austin

Hand #13: Action folded around to Taylor Paur in the hijack who raised to 40,000. Ryan Austin pushed all in from the cutoff for his final 565,000, as did Kyle Cartwright from the button for 382,000. Both blinds folded and Paur made the call.

Paur:{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Austin:{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Cartwright:{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

There was a lot of excitement as some paint came on the {8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop but it was for nothing. Paur's aces were still ahead and the {a-Spades} turn sealed the fate of Austin and Cartwright. The {2-Clubs} river was irrelevant as Paur soars over two million and eliminates two players in the process.
