Calvin Anderson Eliminated in 6th Place ($57,864)

Action folded to Calvin Anderson in the cutoff. He moved all in for roughly 1.6 million chips. It then folded to Ryan Biermann in the big blind who went into the tank. Roughly two minutes passed before Biermann finally announced a call.

Anderson: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Biermann: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}

The flop brought {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, giving Anderson middle set and essentially clinching the hand for him; or so he thought, at least. The {K-Diamonds} rolled off on the turn, giving Biermann a gutshot to make Broadway and win the hand.

"Just pair the board," said Anderson timidly.

The dealer tapped the table and produced the river:

The {J-Spades}.

Everyone at the table let out a collective surprised gasp while Biermann stood up from the table and simply hunched over, unable to believe what had just happened. Anderson was eliminated in 6th place and forced to settle for a $57,864 payday.
