Kyle Merron Eliminated in 8th Place ($42,107)
Matthew Parry raised to 225,000 from the button and got called by Kyle Merron in the big blind to bring out the 5?Q?8? flop.
Merron checked to Parry who continued with a bet of 200,000. Parry called, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the 7?.
Merron check again and Parry tossed out a bet of 400,000. Merron paused briefly before announcing all in. Parry snap-called to put Merron at risk with one card to come.
Kyle Merron: K?9?8?4?
Matthew Parry: A?J?7?4?
When the cards were turned up, Merron quickly saw that he was drawing dead. Both players had flopped a flush with Merron having also flopped a gut-shot straight flush draw, but his one would-be out, the 7?, was in Parry's hand.
The dealer put out the inconsequential 8? on the river to make it official as Merron stood to exit the tournament area in eighth place for $42,107.
