James Bernard Eliminated in 24th Place ($6,000)

James Bernard - 24th Place
James Bernard - 24th Place
Action folded to James Bernard who raised to 25,000 from the button. Emad Tahtouh popped it to 60,000 from the small blind and Bernard made the call in position.

On a flop of {10-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} in an already healthy pot, Tahtouh led out for 100,000 from the small blind before Bernard moved all in from the button for 170,000. Tahtouh made the call.

Bernard: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Tahtouh: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

The turn was an interesting {Q-Hearts} and the river {K-Clubs} sent heart palpitations through Tahtouh as Bernard made two pair but it gave Tahtouh the nut straight and the pot. Bernard departs in 24th place for $6,000 in prize money.
