Jonas Mackoff Eliminated in 8th Place ($30,040)

Chad Holloway

Jonas Mackoff raised to 56,000 under the gun and action folded all the way around to Carter Gill on the button. He promptly three-bet to 100,000, the blinds got out of the way, Mackoff moved all for 193,000, and Gill made the call.

Mackoff: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}
Gill: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {7-Spades}

Mackoff immediately began calling for an ace, no doubt his best bet to win the pot and stay alive. Unfortunately for him, the {J-Spades} {5-Hearts} {10-Hearts} flop did not deliver an ace, but it did add a gut-shot straight draw to his list of outs. The dealer burned and turned the {5-Diamonds} , a blank as far as Mackoff was concerned.

Mackoff's supporters were on their feet calling for an ace, but they were silenced when the {9-Hearts} peeled off on the river. Mackoff was eliminated from the tournament in eighth place, for which he earned $30,040.
