Daniel Neilson Eliminated in 9th Place ($2,663)

Daniel Neilson - 9th Place
Daniel Neilson - 9th Place
Moments after doubling up Kent Hunter, Daniel Neilson was involved in another big pot. This one ended his tournament life.

Action folded to Matt Hawker in the small blind and he moved in for 107,000 chips. Neilson went into the tank. He had 100,000 chips left. After a few minutes, Neilson made the call.

Showdown:
Neilson: {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades}
Hawker: {A-Hearts} {7-Spades}

Despite having a dominating hand, Neilson was smacked by two hockey sticks on the flop of {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Spades}, giving Hawker trips. The turn was the {A-Clubs}, filling up Hawker, and then the {10-Spades} on the river finished things off. He was our ninth place finisher.
