Elie Payan Eliminated in 21st Place ($8,080)

Chad Holloway

Cameron Mckinely opened for 29,000 from the cutoff and received a call from Elie Payan in the big blind. When the flop fell {4-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} , Payan checked and Mckinley bet pot. Payan responded by raising all in for about 120,000 total and Mckinley made the call.

Showdown
Payan: {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}
Mckinley: {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts}

Payan's pair of queens was good when his chips went in, but the running {8-Diamonds} turn and {10-Diamonds} river gave Mckinley two pair and the win. Payan seemed a little stunned as he made his way to the payout desk in 21st place.
