Nolan King Eliminated in 12th Place ($44,323)
Kevin Berthelsen opened to 225,000 and then Nolan King moved all- in to his left for 1,125,000 and action folded to Mike Vanier.
Vanier paused for a moment before announcing that he was all in as well and the action shifted back to Berthelsen. After a few moments of pained deliberation, Berthelsen looked at his cards one last time before he tossed them into the muck.
The other two players' cards were then tabled, with King at risk of elimination.
Nolan King: 4?4?
Mike Vanier: K?K?
"Dang is that king-king over there? Wow, ok, I'm going to need a four of hearts on the flop please," King commented as the dealer began to lay out the board.
The runout of 2?6?Q?A?6? was of no use to King and he was eliminated in 12th place for a payout of $44,323.
