James St Hilaire Eliminated in 10th Place ($26,648)
Level 23
: 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Gerhard Schleicher has been dealt aces and kings within a few hands and he peeked at another monster in the last hand.
Schleicher raised to 55,000 from the button and James St Hilaire responded with a pot-sized three-bet, bumping it to 185,000. Action returned to Schleicher who had a standard request about Hilaire's total stack size. "I started the hand with 311,000," replied St Hilaire.
Schleicher moved all in and St Hilaire called.
St Hilaire: 
Schleicher: 
Schleicher held aces again but St Hilaire's hand was more than competitive. He got ahead on the 
turn, hitting two pairs. The river 
, however, helped Schleicher regain the lead as he improved to the nut flush.
St Hilaire sighed and left the tournament in 10th place for a $26,648 payday.
