Drew "maniacalmonk" O'Connell Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,865)

On blinds of 80,000/160,000, Drew "maniacalmonk" O'Connell saw action fold to him on the cutoff and he elected to shove his 1,991,522 stack into the pot. Brian ��TopCreature�� Sherrier jammed over the top on the button and everyone else folded, leaving a showdown between the two.

Drew "maniacalmonk" O'Connell: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Brian ��TopCreature�� Sherrier: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The classic race saw Sherrier take a commanding lead when a {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop landed on the virtual felt, giving him a pair of queens to take the lead. An {a-Spades} river left O'Connell in need of a seven to stay alive but the {9-Hearts} river was not it and he was sent out the door, sending all the chips to Sherrier.

Eric ��alwaysliquid�� Vanauken: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
"Wigler13": {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
