Texas Dolly Eliminated

[user198205]

After a rough couple of levels, Doyle Brunson was down to his last 4,375 in chips. Action folded to Steve Costello in late position who raised to 750 and Brunson, who was next to act in the hijack, re-raised all in. Action folded back to Costello who called.

Brunson: {5-Spades} {5-Diamonds}
Costello: {a-Clubs} {q-Hearts}

With the rail on its feet and the TV crew rushing over to film the action, Brunson was ahead but just barely heading to the flop. Unfortunately for Brunson, the flop came {a-Diamonds} {q-Spades} {j-Clubs} vaulting Costello into the lead with two pair. Brunson would need a lot of help to survive. The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} and the river was the {2-Hearts} and Brunson was eliminated. He smiled warmly and shook Costello's hand along with the other players at the table before making his exit to applause and cheers from throughout the Amazon Room.
