Rodney Hurlbut Eliminated in 24th Place ($30,067)
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Chip leader Lonnie Hallett was flexing his muscles by moving all-in to steal the blinds. This time he shoved from the button and the small blind, Rodney Hurlbut, called for 3,500,000.
Rodney Hurlbut: J♦J♠
Lonnie Hallett: A♦9♥
Hallett was behind, but the flop of 8♥7♥5♣ gave additional gutshot outs. The K♠ on the turn changed nothing, but the 6♣ landed on the river, to the delight of Hallett and the absolute dismay of Hurlbut, as the Canadian made the Dolly Parton straight.
Hurlbut was consoled by the floor staff as he was given his pay ticket for 24th place.
