David Gonia Eliminated in 4th Place ($26,594)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
David Gonia - 4th Place
David Gonia - 4th Place

Mike Holm opened to 85,000 in the cutoff, and David Gonia three-bet to 185,000 in the small blind. Holm called, and the two took in a {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop. Gonia continued for 175,000 and was called, seeing a {2-Diamonds} turn. Gonia loaded up the second bullet and fired: 325,000. Holm thought long and hard this time, leaning back in his chair and checking the tournament information screen. He finally called, and action went check-check on the {4-Spades} river.

"Sixes," Gonia said.

Holm had it beat: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a pair of aces.

The next hand, Gonia opened for 85,000 on the button and got three-bet to 200,000 by Chance Lautner. Gonia jammed, and Lautner thought for about a minute before opting for a call.

"Sixes again," Gonia said, flipping {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

This time he had gotten the money in ahead as Lautner had {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

The dealer spread the flop: {q-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, a disaster for Gonia since it gave his opponent trips.

"You still have outs," Jonathan Olson said.

That was only true for about five more seconds, as the {a-Spades} peeled off on the turn for quads. A cruel {6-Clubs} completed the board, and Gonia was left with just a few big blinds.

Gonia was eliminated by Holm's two pair a few hands later.
