Walter Wright Eliminated in 7th Place ($97,985)

Mike Ciotola opened the action with a raise to 230,000 from under the gun. Travis Johnson was next to speak and he slid out 700,000 into the middle to announce a raise.

The table folded around to Walter Wright in the small blind who moved all in over the top! Ciotola quickly stepped aside as Johnson asked for a count. It was an additional 985,000 to him to make the call. Johnson deliberated for several minutes, often standing from his chair and running his hands through his hair as Wright remained motionless and emotionless.

Johnson finally found a call and the cards were tabled:

Johnson: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Wright: {a-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board was spread {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Johnson's pair holds up to eliminate Wright in 7th place for a collect of $97,985.
