Hand #98: Cory Albertson was the first player to be eliminated from the final table, in gut-wrenching fashion. After action folded around to Albertson on the button, he raised to 3.3 million, Kazuki Ikeuchi then three-bet to 11.1 million and Albertson made the call. Ikeuchi checked the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop, and then check-raised to 43.3 million after Albertson had continued for 7.7 million

Albertson, who would be all in for his tournament life, tanked for almost two minutes before he making the call.

Cory Albertson: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Kazuki Ikeuchi: {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {5-Diamonds} turn was safe for Albertson, but {10-Hearts} river crushed his hopes of becoming an instant millionaire.
