Chris Staats Eliminated in 8th Place ($31,920)
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Chris Staats opened to 350,000 with A?A? and then Spencer Champlin three-bet to 850,000 with A?Q?.
Then Cedrric Trevino woke up with A?K? and moved all in behind for 4,390,000. Staats then took his time before he moved in for less, trying to get a call from Champlin, who sniffed it out and quickly got out of the way.
Unfortunately for Staats, the runout of 6?K?7?K?J? gave Trevino trip kings to crack his aces and he is sent out in eighth place.
