John Miner Eliminated in 18th Place ($4,456)

[user66118]

John Miner's opening raise was 60,000 from early position, and that left him pretty much committed to the pot when John McNeilly reraised all in for 174,000. Miner didn't like it, but he called with a similar-sized stack and a chance at the knockout.

Showdown
Miner: {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}
McNeilly: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}

Miner was all around it, but he could not find a six as the board ran {Q-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} . With that, McNeilly has found his double up, all the way back over 350,000 to leave Miner with just 17,000 after paying off his debt.

On the next hand, he was all in for the 16,000 he had in front of him, and big blind Drew Caseri made the call with the lowly {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds} . McNeilly's {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} was ahead, but the board came {J-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {3-Spades} {A-Spades} to seal his 18th-place exit.
