Calen McNeil Eliminated in 10th Place ($37,663)
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Calen McNeil limped the button and Ryan Hoenig did so from the small blind, John Holley checked in the big blind.
Hoenig bet the A♠5♠4♣ flop for both opponents to call and the J♣ turn was checked to McNeil, who pushed all-in for 325,000. Hoenig folded and Holley asked for a count as McNeil started fist-bumping and declaring "I can't lose".
"You are a nice guy," Holley said after mulling it over for half a minute and he then called.
Calen McNeil: A♥5♥4♦4♥
John Holley: A♣K♠7♠6♦
Holley had top pair, plus straight and flush draws against the middle set of McNeil with the latter asking for a low card.
That wish was granted but the 3♠ river gave Holley a flush and low to send McNeil out in tenth place for $37,663.
