Matt Johns Elliminated in 23rd Place (�10,151)

One hand after losing 80% of his stack, Matt Johns moved all in for just about 70,000 first into the pot. Action came to Ricardo Sousa in the big blind, and he apologized. He showed {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} and said, "I'm sorry, I have to call. This is sick."

If he thought it was sick, you can imagine how Johns felt. He shook his head and tabled {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}, once again behind -- only this time, it was for the rest of his chips. Johns would turn a gutshot draw, but the board of {9-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {Q-Spades} ultimately sealed his fate.

Johns couldn't get out of the room fast enough. After running into pocket aces two hands in a row, he has been knocked off in 23rd place.
