Albert Knafo open-shoved from the button for heaps and action folded to Matthew Elsby, who called off his last nine million from the big blind.

Elsby: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Knafo: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} gave Elsby a set and a huge lead. The {6-Hearts} turn was about the best card in the deck for Knafo, as it gave him both a flush draw and open-ended straight draw. The {4-Diamonds} river filled Knafo's straight knocked Elsby out in fourth place.

Elsby sat in disbelief for a while before getting up from his seat and exiting the tournament area.
