Jeff Bryan Eliminated in 8th Place ($12,558)

[user66118]

With the action folded around to him, Jeff Bryan moved all in for his final 6,000 little chips. Jesse Hale called from the button, as did both John McDonald and Dennis Meierotto from the blinds.

The flop of {2-Clubs}

was checked around, but Meierotto elected bet out when the {5-Diamonds}

hit the turn. His 12,000 chips were enough to fold everyone else, and the cards were turned over.

Showdown:
Bryan: {Q-Hearts}

Meierotto: {K-Spades}

Bryan knew it when he saw it, mumbling, "drawing dead," as he stood from his chair. The {K-Diamonds}

filled out the board and Meierotto's full house, and Jeff Bryan becomes our eighth-place finisher.

The jovial and outgoing Jeff Bryan was one of the crowd favorites here this week. Supported by his wife Donna and a number of other cheerleaders, Bryan ran deep for the fourth time this series. He'll take home more than $12,000 for his hard work over the last three days.
