Christopher Castellan Eliminated in 8th Place ($113,490)
Level 44
: Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
Carson Richards raised to 12,000,000 from early position and Christopher Castellan shoved for 52,000,000 from the hijack. When the action got back to Richards, he made the call.
Christopher Castellan: 8♥8♣ 
Carson Richards: A♥K♥
Castellan was flipping for his tournament life and his snowmen maintained their lead after the dealer fanned a flop of 3♠7♣5♣.
A 10♣ on the turn added a flush draw for Castellan which removed two more outs from Richards.
"Ace of diamonds, ace of diamonds!" said Richard.
Well, ask and you shall receive as the dealer slammed down the A♦ on the river to give Richards top pair, which meant he snatched the pot away from Castellan at the last possible opportunity.
