Thomas West Eliminated in Eighth Place ($12,421)

OUT
OUT
With the absolute minimum of fuss, West gets it in preflop with {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} against the {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} of now-monster-stack Jason Young.

Board: an uneventful {3-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {6-Clubs}

Handshakes and sighs, and West takes his leave, probably gone to have a nap if he's sensible.

Once West has departed and the cards are being shuffled again, a delighted Young looks down at his 3 million or so stack, and laughs, "Well screw you guys now! I tried to be nice before!"
