Billy Tarango Eliminated in 6th Place ($383,191)
Level 28
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Brian Rast limped in from the button and Billy Tarango limped behind in the small blind. David Eldridge raised to 3,250,000 from the big blind, Rast folded and Tarango made the call.
The flop came Q♥5♣2♠. Tarango bet the pot, Eldridge moved all in and Tarango, who had about 8,000,000 behind and was slightly covered, made the call to put himself at risk.
Billy Tarango: K♠K♣Q♣4♥
David Eldridge: A♦A♥K♦Q♦
Tarango was behind with his pocket kings against Eldridge's pocket aces. The J♣ turn and 7♠ river changed nothing and Tarango was sent to the rail while Eldridge dragged in the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
