Casey McCarrel Eliminated in 8th Place ($23,600)
On a three-way flop of 5?4?9?, Lee Markhold checked, Casey McCarrel bet 400,000, then Terrance Reid moved all in to cover both players.
Markholt quickly got out of the way and McCarrel went into the tank, as he had close to 3,000,000 in his stack.
"Why so much?" he asked.
"Because I don't want you to hit your gutshot on me like yesterday, too risky," Reid replied.
After a few more moments, McCarrell set out his stack to make the call and the cards were on their backs in the monster pot.
Casey McCarrel: Q?Q?
Terrance Reid: 4?5?
Reid was in the lead with his two pair, but the board could still pair to give McCarrel a superior two pair.
Unfortunately for McCarrel, the runout of A?10? failed to do so and he was eliminated in eight place while Reid was shipped the pot to hold over half of the chips in play.
